Will I be eligible for implants on the NHS?

Q.
Hello Mr Tennet

I would like 1 or 2 implants for the right side bottom very rear. I have never had the full compliment of teeth perhaps 2 short of any diagram I have seen.
I had the bottom very rear tooth extracted last week, there was a cap and the original base had split, the tooth infront has been missing for about 58 years, when I was a child I had mumps and toothache the dentist at the time with a doctor present took out a newly grown tooth.
From yourself I really would like an idea of the cost of an implant and if there is any National financial help ie disabled OAP that can be put toward the costs. I do attend a National Health dentist but the cost quoted is far beyond any expectation.

Hello
Implants cost from about 1800 for an implant , abutment & crown (eg completed restored tooth)
Unfortunately the NHS do not provide financial help for normal implant cases.
If you would like to come in for a chat please call Michala or Gurjit on 0121 643 0610
hope that helps
