I am 50 and havent been to the dentist for 30 years because of fear initially but now embarassment. Most of my teeth have broken off at gum level and i only have 2 left at the top and six at the bottom but they are all rotten as well. I have decided to try to get them fixed as i have barely been out the door in the last ten years. I just want to know can anything be done to help me and how much would it cost. Iread a story on the internet that it would cost about 10,000 pounds but theres no way i could pay that. Please give me some advice as i’m desperate.

hi there I’ve been looking on this website and reading thru and looking at the before and after pictures and think they are excellent. i’m 20 years old and i was wondering if you could help me out with a rough price range i have all my teeth except 2 gone from the side of my mouth on the left hand side, & one on the other side of my mouth right hand side, i also think that my teeth are a tad too far apart i have small but noticeable gaps in-between my front teeth and side, also they need whitening. I just want my teeth looking perfect. Kind regards 

I currently have a gap, top set, 5th from the front. I no longer want the gap as it’s effecting my confidence making me conscious when I smile. I have looked into having a bridge but didn’t know if I can if the teeth either side of the gap have fillings in and if not what are my options? I have had the gap for over 6 months. Also other than brushing, flossing, mouth wash, avoiding sugary foods as much as possible what else can I do to care for my teeth as they seem to be made of chalk and crumble!

I suffer with amelogenises imperfecta, should I have to pay for dental treatment (if I suffered with my thyroids I would get free prescriptions for the foreseeable future).
I have previously had my teeth capped and obviously they now need doing again, a cost of which I will regularly incur throughout my life (I am now 40), so will be the 3rd time I will need this doing.
Would I be better of going down the root of implants?

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

Dear Dr.Hughes,
I had a bad accident whilst  I was living abroad for a short while at the end of last year. As a result I received problems such as fractured roots to some top teeth, I also had to have a bridge removed and teeth implanted which Im not currently happy with. Two other teeth top left hand side are now badly abscessed which means in me being in a lot of constant pain, in result I have been told that these teeth may need to be removed. But as I am a Flight Attendant and we are not allowed to wear dentures leaving my only choice as implants. Although luckily Denplan have told me they will pay for all treatment including more implants but I cannot find the right dentist for me. Please can you help me.

Hello,

I have recently been told that I need to have a 2 implants fixed for four of my missing teeth. But to be honest I agree with my dentist as I have had a four tooth metal plate for a long time now. I am 50 years old. I went to a private specialist a few weeks ago and have been quoted for placement of two implants at £1,900 and £180 for extraction of broken canine.

In addition the cost for a four unit porcelain bridge is £3,600. In total this comes to £5,580 – which feels a lot for me and is slightly more than what I was expecting to pay. I would like to know if this sounds about right in your opinion?

Many thanks

There is one capped tooth between bridges it may or may not be wearing down.About 2years ago i had surgery where I had 2roots removed and some bone implanted in top front palate where the front teeth were.My cuurent bridge in the front is the one im worried about seems to be wearing out a little.Can you give me some suggestions about my next move?My current dentist isnot sure what I should do next,and he doesnt do implants, hope you can give me some advice on what to do next, thanks

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
