I am missing a few teeth, besides dental implants, what else can I have done?

Q.
I need some extensive work done on my mouth as i have a lot of teeth missing which were removed due to infection and the use of cocaine when i was younger. Im now 28 and very concious of my smile, it affects my attitude and my confidence severely. Even though no one knows – i know.

I have 7 of my front teeth but most of my teeth along the bottom back sides are missing and need implants..i have looked at the costs of these and there is no way on earth i could ever afford them! Im in full time employment but my wages will just not allow for this expense its far too high. Is there anything I can do – its driving me insane!

A.
The cheapest option is to have a denture made to repalce the missing teeth, alternativly you may be suitable for cantilever bridges you could ask your dentist if the practice offers finance packages.

Hi im 56 and i suppose the last time i went to a dentist was 40 years ago.i attended Kings College Hospital, London at first as a guinea pig and gotpaid 5 shillings. I had a lot of work done there including a false front tooth which is on a metal plate, as i have not been to the dentist since then, incidently i was very frightened by all the experience there that i now have a phobia, please help me as that false tooth has now eaten away at thegum above it so my tooth is slowly been hidden as half of it looks like itis broken. I have so many broken teeth some are left but occasionaly give me pain, which i bare it as much as i can take it, this will last 3/4 days.Im registered Disabled as i have has a stroke and two TIA’S. Im so ashamedof my teeth that im afraid to smile bec ause as i do people look straightat my teeth.

Hi, When I was young I had an accident and my front tooth broke along the top. The dentist removed the nerve but said I should leave it until it starts to give me problems. I’m now 26 and the tooth is starting to change colour, my dentist done an x-ray and the tooth is still attached but only by the corners. I’ve been told I need to have the tooth removed and a false one in it’s place. She has told me the work will cost £2000.00. Does this sound right?? Many Thanks

Hi, my top teeth are probably some of the worst you will see, they are discoloured, some of them missing and some of them black,i am just enquiring into the procedure to have them all removed and false teeth put in their place, also do you have a price list or a pay as u go kind of system?? A replywould be greatly appreciated, thank you.
