Q. I have just had my top right small tooth and middle right big tooth removed because of gum disease caused partly from smoking and mainly through congenital gum disease and have been fitted with a temporary national health denture. I am finding this absolutely dreadful and am incosolable and want to have implants. Can you tell me how much it will cost and how long the whole procedure takes, will i still have to wear the denture till the process is completed or is there another alternative. My dentist also told me that I might need an implant with a cantilever bridge, can you tell me how much you think that might cost. many thanks
