Q. Hi I have two bottom teeth missing and currently where a plate, how much roughly would it cost to have these two teeth as implants
A. If a single implant can carry both teeth a guide price of £3-4000. If each miising tooth is replaced by an implant then £4-5000. ( Average Birmingham Prices)

Q. please can somebody help me i am 37 years old and had all of my teeth pulled out when i was 18 with 2 wisdom teeth so with not a tooth in my mouth i have worn dentures for nearly 20 years and as im sure you know what im just about to say i wont be able to have any more dentures due to no bone and gum left im getting quite distressed about this as the plates do not fit in my mouth now and the teeth on the plate have grinded so i cant eat or chew my face feels is collapsing.would i not be able to have this done on the nhs.can there be a positive outcome
A. Hi, many thanks for your email. the first thing that should be ascertained is how much bone you have generally i have found in my experiance that once a CT scan of the jaw bones is done, there is usally more bone in the jaws than you think. The next step once the true answer is known about how much bone you have is deciding on the the way the teeth are to be restored. th reason for the CT scan would be to see if you are a candidate for dental implants.
Preferribly four implant in each jaw would give you fixed teeth which would not require removing, the cost of which would be approx £12,000 per jaw.
Two implants per jaw fixed to a denture would be removable but when in very secure. the cost per jaw would be £5000
The alternative would be dentures which is what you already have, but with a better fitting surface and new teeth, these are not ideal, but cost wise may range from £1000 – £4000
There are many practices that offer interest free credit to help finance the treatment. hope this is helpful.

Q. Good afternoon. I am a 46 year old female and am having trouble adjusting to my upper denture. I have had a full upper denture for approximately 2 1/2 years. My original dentist removed my remaining 6 front teeth, and made my denture. After 6 months, he made another upper due to the shrinkage of my gums. The first set did not fit well, even with adjustments, so I ended up gluing them in until he made my second plate. The second plate did not fit well or look good at all. After repeated fittings and adjustments, I kept both upper plates and returned to wearing the original plate made. About 1 year after these plates were made, I went to affordable dentures and had a new upper plate made which was much better appearance wise, and fit alot better than the others. This has been a litter over a year ago, and I wore them for about 4 months before I started having to use adhesive to hold them in. I am considering mini dental implants for my upper plate as I have to use the adhevise several times a day to keep my teeth tight. I have spent what I consider a considerable sum over the years (approximately $3,800.00) for this work. How many posts would be required to hold an upper plate in position and would the implants do what I need them to do? Thanks so much for your time.
A. The specifics of the volume and health of the bone combined with the bite force and direction will determine your answer. You will need a clinical assesment for this.

Q. I have never had good teeth and now have no top teeth left.I’am 35 now but have always had a fear of the dentist. I hate having dentures as they have taken away any confidence i used to have.Every time i go to the dentist i always seem to come away with dentures that have teeth that are bigger than which was on my old plate. I have been wearing the same plate for years which has no gum above the teeth and find that i cannot wear the full set of dentures they try to give me as they feel awkward and make me gag. Can you advise me if i have any other available options rather than dentures. i would love to have the roof of my mouth back again rather than a plastic one but understand this may not be optimistic. with thanks.
A. Thanks for your e-mail, please do not give up hope, there is an alternative to your dentures. Many dental practices, including my own, are now able to offer dental implants with high success rates. These dental implants can be used to secure a denture in place, to eliminate the fear of the plate slipping out, or they can be used to secure bridgework. This latter option would enable you to have fixed teeth without the need for any acrylic covering your palate. I suggest that you attend a dental implant clinic for a consultation, to assess whether this is something that would appeal to you. Some of these clinics will be able to offer you a free inital consultation, so that you can make an informed choice without any financial loss. Kindest Regards. Dr Kailesh Solanki

Q. Hi, I have had alot of problems with one of my front (at the side a bit) teeth. I have had root canel on it, then it cracked it two. I had the back bit removed and then the filling fell out the rest so the dentist decided to take it out. I got it taken out 4 days ago and had a plate put it immediately due to its location. I have been in pain since….and it doesnt seem to be relenting. I am finding the plate very uncomfortable and struggle to eat!! in fact i know its only been 4 days but i hate the plate, i dont like the poligrip very much but forcing myself to put it on!! but i feel really like i want to gag all the time, its really sore at my tooth, itchy at the top of my mouth and im constantly thirsty! My dentist is giving me a bridge in 6 months time, I was just wondering if there is any reason I have to wait this long? Can i ask for it sooner as I really dont think i can last 6 months with the plate! Also do you have any advice for the plate situation now….I dont want to go back to my dentist as along with all this ive been in and out with wisdom teeth extractions (where my face balloned) and feel that im always there! but toothache is so bad!
A. You may have an infected socket so I would advise that you go back to your dentist so that he can get you out of pain.
The reason that you will have to wait 6 months until having a fixed bridge is that the gum will shrink after an extraction and needs this time to heal to get the best fit for your bridge. If you had a bridge placed now, it may be the case that it would be ill-fitting in 6 months time after the gum has settled.
Kind regards

Q. I knocked my 2 front teeth out when i was 11 and a dentist filed them down and put teeth in that were on posts. I am now 38 and one of the roots cracked and have had it removed in the last couple of days.I now have a whole plate with 1 front tooth and a couple of back teeth(which never really botherd me that they were missing). The plate feels horrible is there any alternatives to a plate that covers the whole roof of my mouth. I have read about implants but they are out of the question due to the cost. Many thanks for any advice you can give.
A. Implants are an alternative but if cost is an issue you could consider a normal bridge or an adhesive bridge to avoid the need to cover the roof of the mouth.

Q. Hi, I am due to have two teeth taken out, which are together, these are at the top and at the side, i wanted to know if i could have a dental plate for the missing teeth at the side?
A. You can definatley have a dental plate/denture but maybe you should consider Implants as they are a more long term solution and also aesthetically they can look like natural teeth. Implants preserve bone and surrounding tissue ( gum ).

Q. Hi, My wife has a nine tooth plate which covers most of the front teeth. She is very self conscious about her teeth and ses she cant enjoy her food since the plate. I cant afford dental implants but was wondering if she could have some implants that would allow her to have a bridge fitted. She had a bridge for years but sadly the teeth under the bridge rotted and had to be removed, What would be the most affordable solution. many thanks
A. A nine tooth span is likely to need four implants for support and then a nine tooth precision bridge. A guide price of £10-20,000 is realistic.
A cheaper option would be a denture supported by at least two implants with precision attachment for about half the price.

Q. Following the removal of two front (upper) teeth, my dentist has informed me that I would not be considered for dental implants because I smoke. She has given me a totally fake looking dental plate which I cannot wear as my mouth feels full of plastic and I keep retching. She has also told me that there is no other type of dental plate. Is this correct?
A. hi
a dental plate is a dental plate im afraid, even if the plate is more cosmetic it will still cover the palate in some way. if you have treeth which are mobile around it these will continue to deteriorate and the plastic denture is your only option on the nhs.
if you want private options for dentures you can have thin frames, cosmetic teeth, minimal palatal coverage but these are not nhs options.

Q. Good evening Brief history: 26 years ago a dentist advised me I needed to have all but the middle bottom 6 teeth capped (crowns). As result I’ve been left with legacy of problems. Lots root canal treatments, extractions. Now struggling to find NHS dentist and have bridge (upper right) needing removal due to 2 rotten stumps underneath. Bridge upper left reglued 2 mths ago (tiny stumps left). Am only 52 and just lost partner 2 months ago (suicide) and now face having 6 teeth out(upper) leaving 4 capped teeth at front. Am devastated at thought of having a plate with hooks (until top 4 teeth removed in future). Personal confidence absolutely rock-bottom at thought of it all. Not sure if I have any options due to expense of everything. Any advice, prices, options etc very welcome. Money is huge problem but don’t want to feel that no man will want to kiss me again. Am not bad-looking, apparently, and would like to think someone out there might be interested in future but with wonky teeth somehow doubt it. Sorry if this sounds despairing…feel that way. regards
A. Hi
Sorry to hear of your predictament. Unfortunatley it sounds like you may need a partial denture at least in the short term. You may be able to use dental implants in the future, however they can be very costly, depending on the number of teeth missing. As a guide a full upper arch of fixed teeth will cost from £12,000. You could also try a dental teaching hospital as, on rare occasions, you may qualify for implants at a reduced cost.

Q. Hello,i have always looked after my teeth and up until 4 years ago had very little trouble,i now have a full upper plate and i know i will never get used to them.it was a very traumatic experiance and my husband has not kissed me properly since ive had dentures,please advise.thank you
A.
Thank you for your question. I do feel for you. If you don’t want to waer dentures any more then there is always the option of having implants placed. You can have individual teeth imlants or you can have 6 placed and a full arch bridge which is not removable. The bridge would look extremely natural if made properly and you feel much more comfortable and confident with it. Implants are expensive but they are the best treatment option for you. My advice would be to have a consultation with an implant dentist to find out what your options are.
Kind regards

Q. I have a partial plate and food get under it everytime I eat. This causes pressure on the other teeth and sometimes I can not stand it. My dentist says there is nothing that can be done about it. It this true? Sorry for my mistake.
A. A partial plate usually can be relined if it is of the plastic variety. A metal ( chrome cobalt) plate usually cannot be relined. If this is the first time you have worn a plate there is often a period of adaptation tothis new appliance. Following eating you should rinse your plate to remove any debris. The seal around your plate may improve with time – if this is not the case please discuss the matter further with your dentist.

Q. Dear Sir, I have only three remaining teeth on my top jaw on the front of my jaw, and roots that need to be removed from the rear, could I have one inplant at the side of my top jaw, and a bridge to connect to the front of my remaining front teeth, and a plate to replace my natural teeth at the rear, I am 55 years of age and worried about this, Thank You
A. Implants attached to natuar teeth are generally a bad idea because teeth have some movement where as implants are solid. This difference of movement will cause the bridge or implant to fail. In these situations the areas that have teeth missing are generally replaced by implant supported bridges if implant although there are probably many different treatment options open to you.

Q. My 85 yr old mother is unable to wear her “soft” dental plate due to extreme discomfort. Are there any better plates if she paid privately? PS She has been quoted £15,000 for req number of implants and can not afford this.Is it true that it is not possible to just do,say,4 front teeth to make feel able to still face the world?
A. Your mother may require a new denture made to fit her ridges properly. If this has already been done the next option would be a soft liner – as we get old our tissue can become more likely to ulcerate. Nowadays implants can help patients like your mother by taking the pressure of the gums - implants can fail if excessive biting forces are applied to them- as in just placing a few at the front. Unfortunately these are the only options available to us at the present time for people without teeth.
