I would suggest that before you have your teeth extracted you have a private consultation with a restorative and implant team. It is much easier to plan what needs to be done with implants whilst yo have at least some teeth in place. Many high end practices do have finance plans available.

with regards to fees, implants are not available on the NHS and the investment is generally more than other work. It really is not possible to tell you how much it will cost without a ful consultation

Hope this helps

Kindest regards

Hi

I am sorry to hear about your circumstances.

We see this a lot in our practice. The options you have are:

- a very well made denture
- implants retaining an overdenture
- implants retaining fixed bridges

As you said in your post, cost is a very big factor on which type of treatment you can have. As Pav suggested you can consider financial plans. One other option is to have treatment done in stages, ie have some implants placed initially and wear a denture in the meanwhile and consider having some more implants in the future and then build the teeth on top of the implants


I hope this helps

Best of Luck

I agree as to what both Dr. Khaira and Dr. Bohara said. It's best that you consult a dentist and plan an immediate resolution right away. Also, ask some friends if they can refer you to a dentist who can make some payment arrangements.

I wish you all the luck. Keep us posted so we may help you out!
