Q. I would like to know if it is possible to have a tooth implant fitted under the following circumstances: My permanent lateral incisors were removed when I was a child (roughly 6yrs old) before they could grow after an accident which fractured my jaw. I have had dentures, bridges and now have one crown fitted on one side and nothing on the other. I am now 37 yrs old.
A. hi many thanks for your email, the site that requires the implant needs to be assessed to check there is enough room both height, and width wise for the dental implant and that there is enough bone. hope this is helpful.

Q. Hi, I am a 49 year old male and i have lost all but 3 of my top teeth, and dont have that many left on the bottom, can you help me please?
A. The treatment for you will probably be a combination of dentures and implants. The best result would be a fixed bridge attached to implants but this depends on the amount of bone available for the implants and of course cost

Q. I have an overbite and i’m losing my 4 front teeth.I’m thinking of removing the teeth and getting partial acrylic dentures and wearing them for a year and then switching to the flexi partial or dental implants whichever will be easeier on my wallet.My question is should i get braces first and then worry about my teeth falling out later? The reason i ask is because another dentist recommended just that and thought it was odd but then again i’m not a dentist.I will appreciate your response in this matter cause i’m so confused and i need to decide which will be the most effective dental plan for me.Thank you so much.
A. If your remaining teeth would benefit form a better position and if your gum line will be improved for future implants for your 4 front teeth I would also recommend a brace. Hope that helps

Q. I am about to have lower front pincer tooth extracted, can you please advice on what to get, a partial denture or a bridge and what type. My dentist has not explained the options, please can you help me decide I am at my wits end with worry. As soon as possible.
A. A denture is the quickest and simplest method to fill the gap. I would recommend this for immediately after having the tooth removed, after this you could have a bridge or an implant if you want a permanently fixed in tooth.

Q. I am 59 years old. i have lost all of my back teeth due to gum disease. The last of the teeth were removed about two years ago. Since then, due to constantly chewing with my front teeth i am now having problems with them. I have tried a National health service denture but could not get used to it. What treatment would you recommend to replace my back teeth ? and to save my front teeth ?
A. Thanks for your questions, if you are unable to cope with a removable denture, I would suggest that you consider implants. These can be used to stabilise a denture or to support fixed teeth. I would recommend that you attend a consultation with an implant dentist, many of which offer free initial consultations, at which you would be able to discuss the process and make an informed choice based on the facts without any financial commitments. I hope this helps.
Many thanks

Q. My top four front teeth have been on a denture for over 20 years. During that time my gums have receded quite a lot. Both teeth on either side of the four now look silly as the teeth themselves look very long as the gums have receded so much. I have quite a wide smile/laugh but over the years I have tried to limit this as I am very aware of how noticeable the ‘long’ teeth are. Have you any ideas??
A. You probably need a new denture with the teeth correctly placed and the correct amount of gum

Q. Dear Rob, I have lost about half of my teeth. I had a set of dentures made up a couple of years ago, but find them impossible to wear, they are extremely uncomfortable. To compound this problem, all of my front teeth were damaged in an accident a number of years ago, and i have a habit of grinding what remains of them. The are becoming quite ‘threadbare’ and sensitive. I am also not in a position to fund the extensive dental surgery I would require to prevent further damage. I believe there are certain criteria that the NHS would consider adequate medical justification for funding implants, and I was wondering if a patient such as myself would fall into this group. Please advise. Many thanks,
A. Your local dental hospital is the best port of call to find out local provision

Q. thanks for taking the time to read this. basically i had an accident while playing football which has led to me losing over half of one of my front teeth and the other front tooth being pushed back out of place. also along with that my bottom teeth are quite covered in plaque and rotten due to many a years cola drinking without looking after my teeth and they have become quite rotted and were also slightly pushed back in the accident and feel quite sore. ive not had a dental visit for 12 yrs until i had emergency surgery the day after the accident and all the dentist did was pull my front tooth forward again and glue it to the tooth next to it aswell as to the snapped tooth which he appears to have just covered in glue aswell to stop me cutting my mouth open on. i really dont like the sound of having false teeth put in place as my front teeth top ot bottom but it seems i may lose most of them if this repair work wasnt successful and if my bottom front teeth cant be saved. what are my options as im a unemployed nhs dental user. thanks for yor time
A. Thanks for your questions, I’m sorry to hear about your recent trauma. If you are unfortunate and do have to lose some of your teeth, dentures may not be the only option available to you. It would depend on the stability of the healthy teeth either side of your gap, but you may be able to have a bridge. A bridge is made by putting crowns on the teeth at either side of the gap and then joining the two crowns together by attaching a false tooth in between them. However sometimes the dentist will advise that you have a temporary denture in place for a while after you lose the teeth to allow for the healing process. I hope this helps.
Kind regards

Q. I have severe gum recession and three front teeth that are loosening,one quite severely.I really find the idea of false teeth repulsive and am really worried.Is there a solution that does not involve having dentures please.Thankyou
A. The best solution is dental implants this will give you back teeth that are permanently fixed in . You need to get a full assessment done with a cosmetic dentist that does implants. Your bone levels will also have to be assessed.

Q. At the moment I have a 4 tooth bridge which is at the front on my upper teeth. It is a hinge which I have been told is broken so at the moment this is only supported on the one side which is on a post. I have been told by 2 dentists that as this is a large bridge I will now have to have a denture which although not happy have accepted this is the only solution. My problem that before I had my bridge had a plate and as have a strong gag reflex didn’t not get on with this at all also when I was eating it shifted as was most uncomfortable. I have been shown a denture that is metal and doesn’t seem to cover the roof of my mouth would this be a better option than the normal partial acrylic denture for me? I have been told that this is not available on the NHS? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
A. hi many thanks for your email, my advice is to think about dental implants which are fixed and do not require a plate. the cost of a four unit bridge on two implants are approx £5000. msny practices do offer interest free credit to help finance the treatment.

Q. im really worried bout my teeth think my dentist hasnt helped,but im conciderin needing sum new teeth has sune i wont av any teeth at the back to chew with.im 25 n i cant stop thinkin that it not b long before all ive got is my front teeth.
A. If you are think you need to have a large course of treatment and are not happy with your current dentist. I suggest that you see a 2 or 3 different practices to get some quotes and decide which option suits you best. Try to decide a budget and what if any comprimisesyou can make on cost, appearance or timing.

Q. I have recently had my top teeth extracted, and had a normal denture put in (which i absolutely hate!!!), is it possible to have a complete valplast denture made and fitted, and how much would it cost?
A. If you have had all the teeth removed a Valplast denture won’t really help you, they are really meant for partial dentures.
