I Had To Have Most Of My Teeth Taken Out After An Abscess, What Can I Do To Get My Confidence Back?

Thursday, September 26th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Shaffie, I’ve just had treatment for an abscess on my tooth at the back of my mouth, that has led the hospital to take all my teeth out barring six. Now I can’t eat or speak properly I am so upset and I have lost my confidence of going out or even going to work. I think I’m going to need to get porcelain veneers or implants. I’m not sure what’s best for me and what the best options are because the last six teeth I have also need to come out as well because they are rotten so it will be a full set upper and lower. I really hope you can help me with this so any advice will be greatly received. Many thanks.

My gums are receding and I am not sure whether I would be too old for denture implants?

Thursday, February 14th, 2013
Q.

I have had full dentures since I was 18 I am now 56, I suffer from a very dry mouth all the time and my gums are receeding and miss shaped. I feel ugly and old I would like to have implants but because of my gums I don’t think that would be possible. Is there anything that can be done for me. I cannot afford private treatment and I have no Social life as I am so self conscous of how I look. I have seen so many people who’s dentures drop every time they speak I am terrified of this happening to me, and without my teeth in I already look about 90. I have suffered in silence for 28 years because I thought I would be called vain or stupid, but as I have got older the feeling has got worse I just want to feel and look normal.
