Can the NHS offer me any financial help for implants?
Q. hi, i went to my dentist yesterday and although i have always known i didnt realise i need the treatment done so soon. im 20 years old and have 5 baby teeth remaining and have no adult teeth to replace them. i have 3 in a row on my upper left side, 1 on my bottom right and 1 on my upper right. they have told me implants will be the best bet for me. i have a problem however i dont have enough bone to insert the screws due to a sinus, my dentist can sort this and put in a fake bone. altogether this treatment for 3 teeth on my right upper side with the surgry for my sinus is goinmg to cos £8000 is there any finacial help i can get from the nhs? as im really desperate?,
A. The nhs will not fund this type of advanced dental treatment – sorry
A tooth next to my front teeth has broken off at the gum. I can afford £100 per month, but not the full bill. My wife and myself own our house in Knaresborough (mortgage), I am 66 years old
Perhaps considering a 2 or 3 unit bridge would be a cheaper option than an implant if the dentist has ruled out root canal treatment and a post crown! Hope this is helpful!
