Q. Have had dentures since 24 years of age lost their bite and my smile dentist cant seem to get it back how much would it cost for cosmetic dentistry and where would i find a reputable one birmingham area
A. There is a very good dentist called Dr Dominic Hassal who works in Solihull. His practice is called Smile concepts, 91, Lane Lane, you can look him up on the internet. He is an implant and restorative specialist and also has associates who carry general dentistry.
When teeth are lost, the bone support to the jaws reduces greatly and the joint will adapt and generally the lower jaw moves forward as face height is lost. It can be difficult for you to adapt if new dentures are made at the previous face height because the acrylic has to be made much thicker.
Implats can help retain dentures so that they feel secure and don’t move around. You may feel that you don’t want to wear dentures anymore in which case full mouth bridges can be made and held in by implants. These bridges are fixed and do not come out. Implants can be very expensive if you have a single one replacing each tooth. If they are just holding in dentures you may get a way with 3 or 4. Treatment cost for implant dentistry will start at £5000.
I hope this helps
