My teeth are overcrowded what is the best treatment option out of braces, dentures or implants?

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011
Q.

I am 31 years old. I havecrowded teeth.That I have been embarassed of most of my life. They are hard to clean and painful when I eat and they ache sometimes. Are dentures a good option for me? I can’t really afford braces. I was thinking dentures would be a quick, less expensive fix. I’ve been reading about the implants that allow the dentures to snap into place for a better fit and I think that sounds like a good option. Are these a good idea? How long do dentures typically last before a replacement is needed? Please any advice would be appreciated.

My dentist won’t answer my mini implant questions; can you?

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011
Q.

Hello Sunita,

I was wondering if I could get mini implants to keep a partial denture in place? I’ve had my upper -UR1 & 2 plus my UL1 & 2 taken out recently and been given a plastic partial denture by my Dentist. Please don’t get me wrong, she a great dentist but she’s not very forthcoming with information when I ask her questions. I don’t know why that is but it’s why I’ve come on here to ask you instead. I need to have as much info as I can take with me on my next visit in 2wks so I can ask the right questions. I had the 4 teeth I mentioned taken out only 2wks ago and my gum is healing up very nicely she said.

I guess the questions I nned answers to are: 1. Is it possible to have mini implants done with a partial denture and what is the best type of denture used when going with mini implants?? I would be very grateful for any info you could give me on this. Price is also very important to me so if you could send me any info on the mini implants and type of partial denture used for my problem then I would be very appreciative indeed.

My 2nd question is: What are the different types of implants? I’ve heard there are a few different types used? Does it depend on how much a client is willing to spend? If that’s the case then I would also like to know how many different types of full implants there are and what each implant would cost if it’s not too much to ask.

I’m really sorry to bore you with my questions but this is something very important to me right now and I really want to get it right. I’ve complately lost all confidence in myself of late and I’m worried I won’t get it back with just a denture that moves about in my mouth. I’m not comfortable with the partial denture unless I can get those Mini Implants in to keep the denture in place longterm. It would mean a lot to me to know and understand everything I need to before going back to my dentist soon. I know I should just asl her more forcefully but it’s not my way. She tends to put me off the subject everytime I get round to asking a question. Honestly! She will not allow me to ask a whole question in her surgery. She takes over as quick as she can and rants on until I’ve forgotten what it was I wanted to say..lol Any helpful info you can send me would be gratefully received on my part. I would be eternally grateful to you..

Thankyou very much,

I hate my dentures, what is the cost of dental implants?

Thursday, August 18th, 2011
Q.

I have lost all of my bottom teeth and most of my uppers due to dental disease. I have had a new bottom denture made and fitted. The appearance is not as I expected it to be, nothing like my original teeth and my mouth doesn’t close in the same way it used to

The only way they will stay in is with dental glue but that is useless when eating as the whole denture comes out out, they are also ugly and not natural to the way my mouth closes.

The upper dentures need to be done soon but I am so dissappointed with the result of the bottom set, what’s the point? I can’t eat out any more, I can’t even enjoy a meal at home. Fruit, like apples, pears, even plums are completely out of the question now.

I am a pensioner, just how much will it cost to have a denture implant done. I hear so many stories, so many different prices quoted.

I can’t believe the NHS don’t help in this respect. It is not just cosmetic, teeth are for eating with after all!

I know how expensive implants can be but how much exactly, I have heard lots of prices quoted. I am a pensioner but the way I look is still important and more important still I like to eat!

Can implant retained dentures look natural and how can I ensure that they are good quality?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

Hi
Sorry if this is a repeat email.
I emailed you about implant retained dentures and if they could look like real teeth. My next question is how do I know that the lab that the dentist is using is able to make the dentures that I want. If the dentist I go to only uses one lab and they aren’t able to make what I want then I can’t see the point as to me this is a major factor. What should I be asking the dentist to ensure I get the best look and quality from the lab?
Thanks

Dentist said he cannot build up implants enough to provide enough lip support. I have not been back since. What should I do?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010
Q.
Hi I was due to have implants approx 18 month ago. Full implant held denture for the lower and individual implants onthe top. The top partial denture I have now is built up at the front for lip support but after having all my impressions the dentist said that he cannot build up the implants enough to give enough lip support. This meant a full denture for the top which I must say I panicked about and haven’t been back since. I now need to look at my options again and may need to find another dentist. I was wondering how much the implants can be safely built up in this situation? Thanks,
