admin — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 06:35:23 +0000

Q. my teeth are in a terrible state after lifetime of other health problems. ive tried my best to look after them but the amount of medication as well as constant vomiting have weakened them. i spent so much time in hospital that the last thing wanted to do when ok was visit dentist. now i really need to get to a dentist and want to but im so ashamed-what can i do?

A. Hi

Please dont be ashamed. We see a variety of problems, more extreme then your case. The most important thing to do is to visit a dentist to have a full mouth examination. This would allow the dentist to outline your options.

I cant have dentures anymore Could you suggest?

admin — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:29:40 +0000

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.
