Q.

Hello Sunita,

I was wondering if I could get mini implants to keep a partial denture in place? I’ve had my upper -UR1 & 2 plus my UL1 & 2 taken out recently and been given a plastic partial denture by my Dentist. Please don’t get me wrong, she a great dentist but she’s not very forthcoming with information when I ask her questions. I don’t know why that is but it’s why I’ve come on here to ask you instead. I need to have as much info as I can take with me on my next visit in 2wks so I can ask the right questions. I had the 4 teeth I mentioned taken out only 2wks ago and my gum is healing up very nicely she said.

I guess the questions I nned answers to are: 1. Is it possible to have mini implants done with a partial denture and what is the best type of denture used when going with mini implants?? I would be very grateful for any info you could give me on this. Price is also very important to me so if you could send me any info on the mini implants and type of partial denture used for my problem then I would be very appreciative indeed.

My 2nd question is: What are the different types of implants? I’ve heard there are a few different types used? Does it depend on how much a client is willing to spend? If that’s the case then I would also like to know how many different types of full implants there are and what each implant would cost if it’s not too much to ask.

I’m really sorry to bore you with my questions but this is something very important to me right now and I really want to get it right. I’ve complately lost all confidence in myself of late and I’m worried I won’t get it back with just a denture that moves about in my mouth. I’m not comfortable with the partial denture unless I can get those Mini Implants in to keep the denture in place longterm. It would mean a lot to me to know and understand everything I need to before going back to my dentist soon. I know I should just asl her more forcefully but it’s not my way. She tends to put me off the subject everytime I get round to asking a question. Honestly! She will not allow me to ask a whole question in her surgery. She takes over as quick as she can and rants on until I’ve forgotten what it was I wanted to say..lol Any helpful info you can send me would be gratefully received on my part. I would be eternally grateful to you..

Thankyou very much,

Hi,
A couple of days ago I had a molar removed from my bottom jaw (2nd from the back on the left) due to it being rather damaged. Having already briefly discussed options with my dentist, I am aware that a dental implant would be my best option (as the teeth on either side are perfectly healthy). However, I face the problem that I am a student so for the minute £2000+ is a little out of my price range. Having been made aware that the neighbouring teeth can move around and the tooth above may move down, I was wondering if a single denture may be sufficient as a temporary option to stop any movement occurring until financially an implant is a viable option. Also, once the molar was extracted, my dentist commented on how long and curved the roots of the tooth were. I was wondering if this may have an impact on the possibility of having an implant fitted or may pose any complications?

Q.

I have lost all of my bottom teeth and most of my uppers due to dental disease. I have had a new bottom denture made and fitted. The appearance is not as I expected it to be, nothing like my original teeth and my mouth doesn’t close in the same way it used to

The only way they will stay in is with dental glue but that is useless when eating as the whole denture comes out out, they are also ugly and not natural to the way my mouth closes.

The upper dentures need to be done soon but I am so dissappointed with the result of the bottom set, what’s the point? I can’t eat out any more, I can’t even enjoy a meal at home. Fruit, like apples, pears, even plums are completely out of the question now.

I am a pensioner, just how much will it cost to have a denture implant done. I hear so many stories, so many different prices quoted.

I can’t believe the NHS don’t help in this respect. It is not just cosmetic, teeth are for eating with after all!

I know how expensive implants can be but how much exactly, I have heard lots of prices quoted. I am a pensioner but the way I look is still important and more important still I like to eat!

Q.

Hi,
I’ve been researching dental implants and I’d love to be able to get them. I have bad teeth, partly because I haven’t looked after them enough and also due to a psychological disorder (dismorphophobia caused me to brush my teeth 20 – 40 times per day in my teens/early 20′s).

Also, when I was very young, I had an accident causing the top front 4 teeth to crack and have had crowns since around age 10 – the dysmorphophobia condition stems from this.

These 4 teeth and 2 others next to the canine on the left side of the upper jaw are where I’d like implants (as soon as possible, I’d like more on the other side of the same row later).

My main question is about the cost – can the 4 teeth be replaced with 2 implants, with the other 2 teeth replaced with 1 implant along with bridges?

I don’t have good credit, so will be taking out an expensive loan to pay for the treatment, so I’d like to know if the above proposal is a reasonable request (rather than 1 implant per tooth), and one which would be a lasting solution.

Many thanks for your time.

Q.

I have just left the royal marines after 8 yrs of service. During my time i had two of my front teeth knocked out. I was given a plate to wear but do not like the feeling of it in my mouth. I was told that to have implants i would need bone putting back in my gum first. Im just wondering what sort of cost this would be as i can not go on looking like this as im only 28.
Cheers for your help 

Q.

Thinking of having the whole of my top teeth replaced my implants could you give me any idea of the total cost of this or is it possible to have a few done at a time. Is there any reasons why I may not be able to have them. I have a very old bridge at the moment which I have recently had repaired but this is very temporary so I need to make a decision soon as I am unable to eat anything hard to cause it to break again which I am very worried about. Dentures are not a option for me. How long a process is it for the implants to be complete?

Regards
Jane

hi

hi like most people looking for some advise on my next step with my teeth..this is the story..I lost my front tooth when i was a teenager, then i had a poorly made bridge fitted this lasted for about 6 years till i took a boot in the mouth playing football then had another tooth worn down and new ( poorly) fitted bridge put in. i now have another one and in all i now have 5 missing teeth under the bridge..i really hate the look of it and its never felt right in my mouth it was a nhs job so i no it was never gonna be the best but i expected better than what was actually fitted. implants sound good put at about 2500 per tooth i could not afford to spend 12500 putting it right is this the correct price?.. or could you tell me what other opitions would be availble to me. really need to get this sorted asap many thanks
