I am wondering if it is advisable to have all these broken teeth removed and be placed by a bridge or implants. Are these available on NHS?

Q. I am a somewhat healthy 22yo female. I do have a fair few broken teeth at the back of my mouth with i am susceptable to infections from. I am in the process of getting this fixed by my dentist. I am wondering if it is advisable for me to have these all removed and be replaced by a bridge or implants? The back 3 on either side, along the bottom are cracked and only a slight bit of the tooth is left. In this case, seen as there is no other option but for the teeth to be removed would i be able to get implants or a bridge placed on the NHS? Would i be best going to a dental hospital for this procedure? Thank you

A. Hi Implants are not available on the NHS and bridges only in selected cases. Unfortunately with NHS funding, you may have to wear a small partial denture, or pay privately for implants.
