Can i get implants for all my teeth

Yes, if you have enough bone, implants can be used to restore either just one tooth or a whole mouth

I have two maxilliary premolars missing. One from a long time ago, which Icould live with but I lost a further on next to it this year. I have a private dentist in Scarborough who wants to “refer” me to someone for implants. I suspect for a fee! The person to whom she wishes to refer me chargesC2A3150 for a consultation! I am also told a ball park figure would beC2A33000 a tooth! My basic research indicates this seems ‘a little excessive’. I appreciate, as I do skeletal reports as an archaeologist, that premolars by position and with resorbtion of the bone are probably in a bad and therefore expensive position to implant. My preliminary enquiry is couldthey cost as much as C2A33000 a tooth in a worst case scenario. I wouldbe keen to have implants commencing next year and know they will not be cheap.

I lost three teeth on top front as a result of a sporting accident in the eighties. Would i be a suitable for implants at this stage after such a longtime wearing dentures

What sort of cost is involved in full mouth reconstruction. I realise its impossible to give an accurate quote without seeing my teeth. I was just looking for a rough price range. Im 25 and I didn’t look after my teeth when Iwas younger, I am missing my UR1 and UL2 (for which I currently have a partial plate). My UL1 has also been backfilled and has stained. I have lots of fillings including some root fillings. I have been researching dental implants and they seem like a really good option. Sorry if this information isvague. I would really appreciate correspondence

I had two front side teeth and a number of lower jaw side teeth removed over a year ago but have not had any further treatment. I am getting married in a year and as you can imagine smiling for photo’s isn’t something I currently do. I would be interested in having a consultation to see if implantsand tooth whitening is something that would work for me. Or if there is a better route. Obviously cost would be a factor but I would like to understand what this world be etc to asses if I could complete this.

if you dont mind me asking can you tell me how much you as a denist will actually pay for an implant. what is this in terms of what the patient will ende up paying? i know it comes down to things as well like experience but please let me know. regards.

Thanks for your question. The cost for the dental implant components varies depending on the brand of implant used, the type and size of implant. There are many costs that make up the fee that is charged to the patient. There is the cost of the implant components; the laboratory costs for the custom made restoration; the cost of the dentists time; the cost of the dentists assistant and support staff. Regard

I have two dental implants, and one of them has gotten scratch somehow. I have had the implants for about three to four years and I was very pleased with them but now I’m very self concious of this scratch, as the implants are right in the front of my mouth and it is very visible. Are there any solutions to correct this scratch without having to get another tooth attached to the implanted post? And also what do you think may have caused the implant to have been scratched? Does this happen commonly or is it just my bad luck?

I think you are talking about the crown on top of the implant. You may need it polished or possibly a new crown attached to your underlying implant

I had 2 crowns for my front teeth when in my teens, After falling & chipping them. I have since had disaster after disaster, the last one being 17 years ago when I had a fractured root in my lt front tooth. I had an implant done – then Swedish Brandeburg ??. Now the crown is noticably shorter than my other front tooth which is a also crown. I saw a dentist who took an x-ray which showed I had bone loss around the implant which she said has causaed the implant to be pulled up, & she said i will eventually looose the implant. I sometimes get a dull slight ache in the region. I am unerstandibly quite anxious. What should I do? Can you help? Thank you.

You should see a periodontist or implant dentist for a proper assessment of the implant to see you would be best in the long term

HOW MUCH WILL IT APPROXIMATIVELY COST TO DO 12 THEETH IMPLANT.

The costs for dental implants will vary depending on the amount of work involved and the practice where you are being treated. As a ball park figure budget £2,000 per restored implant. A full consultation would be required with a dentist to assess your treatment needs and give you more indication on costings.

hi, I am in the middle of the dental implant process. for some reasons my current doctor have raised the price for the crowns to be implanted , its 3 crowns , for the tooth no. 8, 9 and 10. All surgical process part is over and now is the time to get the last part which is getting the crowns, they have taken the impression too. what is the cost of 3 crowns please suggest, as I can not afford to pay too much. thanks.

The cost vary depending on the type of crown and where you live, you need to discuss this with your dentist

please can you advise if it’s possible to slightly reposition teeth when doing implants – specifically I have two front teeth I have hated for years (now aged 49) which seem to be prominent – they exit the gum sloping forward and then angle straight down. is it possible to get implants to replace these but position the implant a couple of millimetres back or at least so that they go straight down ?

Usually, it depends on your specific situation but this is something we do a huge amount of. It is not surprising but when teeth get loose/ damaged etc they can end up in the wrong place. If these need to be replaced by implants if possible, it is nice to put these back in the right place.

what is the best type of material use on crown of implanted tooth.also the other types of materials… thanx for your answer also h need brief idea about porclain type

it depends on the case and the type of crown required so there really isn’t a ‘best’ type. As a rule i use a bonded porcelain crown for back teeth and all porcelain/zirconium near the front of the mouth

hello there, i hope you can help i have cavities in a lot of my teeth and I definitely think I have gum disease. I plan to go to my dentist to have all my teeth out, but i really hate the idea of having dentures for the rest of my life. How long after the extraction would I have to wait to have implants fitted. and will they still take even if i have had gum disease? thank you for any help you can give doctor

In theory if implants are right for you maybe able to have the teeth out and implants placed with temporary teeth fitted at the same time to avoid the need for dentures. Have a look for an experienced dental implant dentist to see what they can offer you

in am 36 and i have lost all my teeth due to the gastric bypass surgery. i have tried doing dentures but i just cant wear them i want teeth that dont come out and look real again. what is the healing time and how bad is the pain to have a whole mouth dental implants.is that the best way to go? it has been 2 years sence i lost all the botto teeth and about a year sence i lost all of the top teeth i went from goddis to grand ma in a matter of months they took them out 9 teeth at a time….. i just want to look like me again i dont even want to go out of my house

Hi It definitely sounds like dental implants are your best way forward. I’d advise you see a dentist who is very experienced in replacing teeth with implants or a specialist dentist called a Prosthodontist Hope that helps? Best wishes

I have an 18 year old implant replaced my front tooth. The implant has lost some bone and the metal is now showing. Otherwise it is solid and does not move. Is it possible to remove it, have bone grafting done and then a new implant. If yes how can it be removed with minimum damage? Are their techniques other than a trephine because the damage with that instrument could be extensive. There is some kind of electro surgery that below certain temperature can do the job but where can I have it done?

It can be done but not with electrosurgery. Its possible to use piezosurgery as this destroys less bone. You’ll need to see an implant specialist for a full assessment and quote for the treatment

Hello i am 46 years old and after taking medication for another illness now have terrible terrible teeth. My dentist tells me my only option is to have all of my teeth removed and replaced with dentures. You can understand my horror at that and i was just hoping that there might be an alternative out there. Is there anything else you could recommend for my situation? thank you very much

Hi The other alternatives are dental implants used to retain dentures which woul allow good fixation or a better option would be a fixed bridge retained by implants.

i have lost 6 of my teeth because of gum disease. My dentist says that he has the disease under control now that he has removed my teeth and treated me, but i am now looking for options for filling in the gaps that are now left. I was thinking about dental implants. would i have to have each tooth individually or can i have them done in blocks? two teeth are missing together and the other 4 are missing together, how could that be treated? thank you

If you have 4 teeth missing then you possiblly could have a bridge held by 2 or 3 implants. A detailed examination would be required to give you a definitive treatment plan.

I have mini dental implants in my bottom teeth theyre are moving quite a lot, i think i need the rubber rings replaced as i live in guernsey its difficult to get over to mainland, can i purchase them? ive had them for about 7yrs. I also had mini implants on the top however they fell out after about a year i was told the reason was because i smoked.If you could be of any help i would very grateful. Thanking You

I’m afraid they will need fitting properly so you’ll need professional help. There are dentist in guernsey so they might be able to help

hi,i have a cleff pallet,i have been on the secret waiting list,waiting for dental implants.after 14 months i have now been referd to another hospital 90 miles 2.5 hrs travelling ,my fear is that i have broken the loop and the treatment will prolong for another 14 months before treatment is completed. can i apply to the patient care trust for funding for dental implants as i am recieving incapacity bennifit with thank

I’m sorry to hear of your problems, unfortunately I don’t really know how to advise you, perhaps you should call the first hospital to see what the overall plan is??

I am trying to get implant the whole upper I terrified from the injection do you feel the surgery ,because I am terrified if that does not work I really am terrified I need your advise please what kind of sedation a doctor should use so I do not feel the drilling and all.

Intravenous Sedation sounds as though it would be helpful to you in controlling the anxiety you feel.

Could you please advise if am a suitable customer for the implanting in the one day protocol. Presently I have two capped teeth(loose) and a stainless/plastic denture. I can only go to £27000. Mybottom teeth are fine if they are scaled every three months I am informed. I have been told I have bone in abundance which I am not sure is a good or bad thing.

You sound like a suitable candidate. You would of course need a full consultation though before we could be sure. Bone in abundance is a very good thing 🙂

what is the difference between normal implants and mini implants in relation to what they can do? i want all of my teeth replacing, which of the implants would be the better option for me to pursue. any help would be excellent thanks

I only use mini implants as temporary implants… therefore as far as I am concerned mini implants have a limited range of use

I am looking to have two gaps filled in time for my brothers wedding which is in 6 months time. How long does it take to have implants and crowns fitted and how much would it cost for two teeth? Also my teeth need whitening, should i get that done before i get the dental implants? and how much is the general cost of teeth whitening? thank you

You should do the whitening as soon as possible Whitening can be from about £250 Implants can be done start to finish in about 12 weeks in satisfactory candidates

Just one month after getting my dental implant put in it has come out and I am devastated. It had been feeling wobbly whenever I was speaking to others or eating for that matter. All of the implant stuff came out two nights ago. What should I now do? Should the dentist just put it back in and not charge me as I have stuck to the guidelines he gave me to keep it working and safe? Please answer as soon as you can. Thanks

is it the crown that has come out or the implant fixture? did you have any paper work? there should have been some discussion on the risk of the implant failing and if that happened then what the protocol would be

My teeth are in terrible state since i was a kid. but i could never afford a dental implants to be done, however my question is: Is it possible to pay monthly for something like that

Yes that is possible. We can spread payments over 5 years if you wish to? Please come for a consultation first so we can assess your needs

has there ever been as case were a dentisty isunable to use dental implants and therefore the patient can only have denture. I ask that as my mouth, top, has been missing a majority of teeth for 10+ years and therefore bone maybe lacking in a majority of my mouth. I want implants to be normal again as I have been unable to smile/laugh without hiding my face with my hand for over 12 years. Eating has been a real issue in the last couple of years and that is what has driven me to take this step. I am scared and have always been scared of dentist and have got by with piecemeal dental work. Thank you so much for any advice

Anything is possible. You need to get a consultation with an experienced implant dentist and be advised of your options.

I had 8 implants (4 top 4 bottom) 8 months ago in Budapest. After 6 months healing overdentures were attached to the implants. The bottom overdentures are perfect but the top ones are very uncomfortable on the pallet. I was wondering if a all on 4 bridge could be utilized on my top set. All the implants are 90 degrees. My dentist in Budapest is unwilling to consider an all on 4, insisting I have 4 additional implants plus bone grafting before a brdige can be placed.

Unfortunately I would need to see you to answer this question. It may be possible, it is hard to say.

The crown on my implant broke so I need to have it replaced. I went to the dentist (in Germany where I live) and he could not remove the screw. I sat there for 1.5 hours and he could not get it out. So my question is, is it necessary to take that out to make a new crown? I gave him the info for the type of implant that I had done (in Italy). Can he not make the impression without removing the screw? He asked me to ask the Italian implant guy if he by chance had cemented the implant in. I go back in 2 weeks and they will have a smaller instrument to try to remove the screw with. thanks.

Hi If the crown is fractured then it would have to be removed to make a new crown. It would be appropriate to take the abutment out and take a new fixture level impression.

I HAVE HAD MY 2 TEETH OUT NXT TO MY FRONT TOOTH, THE DENTIST HAS GAVE ME A DENTURE PLATE WTH 6TEETH ON 1 SIDE AN 2 OTHE THE OTHER HV HAD THEM FOR 2 HALF MONTHS AN HAVE BEEN BK 3 TMES I CAN NOT EAT WITH THEM AN HV ULCES AN SORE GUMS THE DENTST SED TRY AN PUT UP WTH THEM I AM INBARESTED TO EAT N FRONT OV PPL AND I HV DONE NOTHNG BUT CRY COULD GET 2 SCREW N TEETH WHICH MY DENTIST TOOK OUT ON NHSS AS MY DENTIST SAID THEY COST 500 EACH TOOTH

You do have options you will be limited by what your budget is, ideally you can have implants placed and new teeth attached to them so you would not need to take them out or a denture could be made that is secured by implants. You are welcome to book in to come and see me for some free advice and options.

I have sjogren’s syndrome. Despite brushing, flossing, medication, and artificial saliva; my teeth are getting worst. The bone structure of my upper and lower jaw are healthy. Can I benefit from implants. My teeth are are eroding. I may have about two years before I am presented with a serious dental problem.

Treating patients with Sjogren’s can be very difficult even with dental implants. However if the teth are deteriorating rapidly its worth looking into the possibility of implants before the bone and gums shrink away. ask your dentist to take a look or get referred to an implant dentist.

hello there please can you help me i need mini dental implants to hold a 4 tooth denture i am mentally ill and this is making me iller by the day as well as weight loss due to not being able to eat properly, mentally my life is getting worse and worse due to this would i be able to have this done on nhs for my mental health, please please is there help kind regards and thank you very very much for your time

I’m sorry but I don’t think you’ll get this treatment on the NHS despite your mental health problems. You could try a teaching hospital but they probably won’t be able to help I’m afraid.

I had or still do have i dont know, pariodontal disease and have lose all of my teeth except for one. I also have quite abit of bone loss, i was just wondering if with such bone loss is it still possible to get dentures? I dont know about getting implants though. I hope you can answer my question. I have been without teeth now for a long while and i would really like to have dentures if i possibly can.

My advice at this stage would be to seek the help of a specialist periodontist and/or an implant specialist or prosthodontist, for advice about your current condition and what options can be provided for your dental care Best wishes

i have been wearing a denture since i was 15 years old i am now 47 recently had another new palet fitted but after several modifications to the palet it’s still a poor fit and makes my gums sore, i was told by my dentist i could have a implant but need a bone graft in the front how much would this all cost incl the tooth and is it a clip in tooth or screw in and will it match the off white colour of the rest of my teeth or stand out and look like a false implant,i want the roof of my mouth back.

An implant and bone graft will cost around £3000. The tooth will be permanently fixed and should be a very good match to your other teeth

i am looking into tidying my teeth up before i get married, i reqirea front right implant and possible a few veneers, as a result of not properly looking after my teeth as a child.my front tooth was knocked out on a fairground ride about 10 years ago ant the surrounding teeth are staines/ misshapen, how much is this likely to cost me, places local to me to carry out treatment or is it safe to go abroad, really hope you can help

I would always go local in case of problems, you are looking at around £2000 per finished implant crown as a general average

I am considering implants in my upper jaw following a sports accident where two teeth were broken . These are front teeth next to each other. Is it better to have two single implants or one implant with a bridge? Surely two single implants would be stronger. Are there advantagesor disadvantages with either course of action. Cost may be a consideration too. Please advise possible costs for each option.

As a guide you should always use 2 implants for 2 teeth as one implant holding 2 teeth tends to cause problems in most circumstances

Hi. I just had the first stage of my implant of on tooth ( tooth 3) and the stitches came off fairly quickly. Although so far (5days after the surgery) i didn’t feel any significant pain after using mt mouth wash I felt it go through the implant to my nose. Should I worry?? My doctor gave me a list of advice and on one was not to blow my nose which I did not do for the first couple of day but I find it impossible to avoid putting pressure in my mouth either through using my mouthwash or slightly cleaning my nose. Is the implant safe?

Hi Unfortunately it is impossible for me to say without examining your mouth. my advice would be to consult the doctor who placed the implant

I recently had an implant fitted, but was surprised to find it much smaller in size than the molar it replaced (about 70%). It is a single tooth implant to replace the second lower left molar, which i lost 2 years ago.My dentist said the base of my bones would determine the size of the implant and he could not increase the size. I was not aware of this and the tooth looks very much out of place. Is there anything I can do?

It is often better to reduce the size of the final tooth if the bone support is reduced. Increaing the size of the tooth could be done but you may run a risk of early failure.

What option do i have to replace acfront gap where the actual tooth is a failed cap and tooth root is fractured. other front tooth is a bridge on third front tooth. isvthrre any chance of another brige from smaller tooth which is still intact or some sort of veneer i would also consider a implant but not for over 1500

It doesn’t sound like a bridge off the smaller tooth would work and an implant will probably cost in excess of £1500, it sounds like the best option though.

I was seen by my dentist and at first she suggested to remove the remaining tooth as the tooth was level with the gum which would not be enough hold a crown, but she also suggested she will know better about it on the next apponintment when she numb the tooth. Well she has checked it and she said it seemed the over grown a bit, so she would try to fill the tooth and make a foundation for a crown. She filled the remaining tooth with filling and gave me another appointment to see how things will go. I do not know if this will work however after the filling I have slight discomfort aroun the tooth area which I did not have it before the treatment. It has been 4 days since the treatment. I wonder feeling some discomfort around the area is normal? I appreaciate your assictance. Best regards,

Hi My advice would be to be examined clinically to allow the dentist to make a correct diagnose. Sorry I cant be of more assistance but it is impossible to say if anything is wrong without examining the tooth clinically.

i have 3 missing teeth in upper jaw the canine and two missing directly behind missing canine.would i be able to have mini implants with fixed bridge.I cannot afford traditional implants.If mini implant s in my upper jaw would not be suitable’what is the alternative?if any.Would mini implants last as long as the traditional implants?. How many mini implants would i need to replace the three missing teeth in my upper jaw?.

Hi im 25 and a single parent of 2. And dont work at the koment i had really bad teeth and really paranoid about them i cober my mouth when i speak and its getting worse i try not to smile at all, i have a couple of proken teeth and really bad decay! I regret not looking after ny teeth soo much and dont want to leave it any longer. Woul i be able to get any help towards costs? thank you for your time

You should be exempt on the NHS

I need to see what the best way to start my restorative surgery would be? I had a mad incident and have damaged alot of my teeth in it. I wanted to know what the best way to approach this. my lower left side took the most and a lot of teeth there a chipped and cracked. If I replaced the four teeth (all next to each other) what would be the best way to this- everything from comfort to cost and aesthetics considered. This wuold normally be straight forward but I can’t make up my mind between dentures and implants and was hoping you could help me make this decision. thanks

Implants would be better than dentures unless you are very old. You really need to get a consultation with a prosthodontist to find out your options
