My Missing Teeth Are Knocking My Confidence, Which Treatment Option Would Be Right For Me?
Q.
I have upper left 5 missing and upper right 5,6,7,8 missing (hope I have got that right). I want to have these gaps filled but what is my best options other than implants? which I can not afford, quoted £4,500 because I need bone graft and sinus pocket lift etc. Chrome metal partial denture but I don’t like the clips, they will show when I smile and last I have been quoted £2,000 for bridges which I can not afford either. I would appreciate any help whatsoever that you can give me with this. It is an issue which has been playing on my mind for quite sometime now and it is knocking my confidence. Any response would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Thank you for writing in! I understand that this sort of problem can be quite stressful and it is important to get a well thought out response from a professional, so you have done the right thing in asking an expert. Your only option then is a plastic denture, chrome dentures are smaller and generally fit better, I am not sure how you could have a bridge as the teeth are all missing in a row. Implants would be the best option. Hope this helps.
