Will any dentists offer me low fee dental implants?

Friday, January 15th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Moore.Apart from your friendly face I chose u as I too live in Essex. I have multiple health issues resulting in not having many teeth left.Very briefly I had a mesenteric throbosis in 96 which resulted in having several bowel resections and now having only 35cms of small bowel.I have osteo arthritis,Recurent kidney stones,approx 15-20 a year,herniated back discs and severe pain issues requiering morphine pain relief,I am currently have very few teeth left.Also been on steroids for 13 years 13mgs daily.I have NO back teeth that meet therefore kinda chomp with my front teeth which has now caused them to begin desintigrating so now have to have a mainly soft diet.Before being medically retired in 96 I was a social worker.I am still a young 45 and truly dont want full dentures oh and Im on clexane anti couagulant.Complicated huh.I get a lot of bad days but still try to have a half full cup not a half empty one. What I want to ask u is do u know of any organisation or dentist who would give me maybe 3 or 4 implants on a charity/very low price basis.I am on benefits but woiuld be willing to give what ever i have to pay whatever i could towards the treatment.I dont even mind being used as a teaching aid but dont want students working on me as i had that at the London years back and wonder if that didnt cointribute to my current goat teeth look.If u cant help thanks anyway for taking the time to read my letter.Best wishes n kindest regards .Oh if u google my name i have 2 articles online one as the patients story at st barts urology dept and an article for the BBC online starting i think with ‘I have hundreds of stones.Thanks again.,

Porcelain crown pushed forward and worried something is wrong

Friday, January 15th, 2010
Q.
Hi Mr Moore, I have a porcelain crown as one of my front teeth it is on a metal post,I have a very bad habit of grinding and clenching my teeth(I even clench my teeth when I fall asleep on the sofa,cinema,ect). This has resulted in me gainiCrown ng super developed muscles in my jaw,braking off bits of teeth but more importantly I believe it is through this I have pushed my crown forward, even though I wear a hard guard in the night. A few months ago I noticed what I would describe as a blood blister above the tooth, when I applied pressure it bled,more recently the blister has moved up my gum, along the line of the root. I have visited a dentist who x-rayed my teeth and gums he could find nothing but as I can feel some sort of mild pressure, but no pain, am frightened of biting into food. The dentist who replaced the crown around 4 years ago did dislodge the post and replaced it free of charge. Please can you shed any light on my problem. Kind regards,
A.

Q.
Im 20 years old. My central incisors are large. The lateral incisor on right overlaps one of the central incisors. My main concern is the prominent front teeth. What options do I have?
