What Time Of Payment Schemes Are Available To Me, I’m On Minimum Wage And Require Dental Implants?

Thursday, February 6th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes, I hope to hear your advice. I am just looking to find out some more information about tooth implants. My 2 front teeth are a complete mess, I had terrible mouth ulcers after having a lot of chemotherapy which aided in them starting to rot away. I work and I am on minimum wage, and would like to know if you provide a savings scheme where I can pay for treatment in advance by instalments before treatment is carried out, or if there’s a direct debit option to pay up after treatment. Thank you for your reply in advance.

If I Invested In Implant Supported Dentures Could I Still Play My Saxophone?

Thursday, August 1st, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Patel, I just wondered if you could advise me on something? It looks like my lower teeth cannot be saved. The uppers have already been gone for 4 years, and a recent bout with chemotherapy has advanced the decay in my lowers. The only thing I could possibly afford would be mini-implant supported removable dentures. The upper dentures have already ruined my career as a saxophone player — do you think the solution will allow me to play? When done properly, it shouldn’t put any more pressure on the teeth than chewing nuts, for instance? Can you please advise me, I don’t want my career to be in ruins too, I’m not sure what route to turn down. Thanks in advance.

My Crown Keeps Falling Out, Would The Fact I Have Had Chemotherapy Have Any Bearing On This?

Thursday, May 30th, 2013
Q.

hi im in the uk, my front crown has been falling out pretty regular, went to my dentist who is going to fix the crown next to the tooth that’s on a bridge. i’d like to know whether or not this will help the crown to stop falling out? to give you a bit of context about me, i’m 55 years old, in 2006 i was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma. following this i had chemo and in 2006 i was cured. i’d also like to know whether or not the chemo could have any effect on my teeth? i do go for regular check ups so it’s not like i’m a stranger to the dentist. do you think that it will be a new bridge with the tooth joined on to it? look forward to hearing your response. thank you.

I have recently been fitted with a top denture which is pretty awful and I have big gaps in my bottom teeth which are not false but loose, therefore I feel that I have am awful smile which is quite depressing, what can I do?
