Mine is rather unique situation. I am on a long trip from Australia.I have purchased a small house on the north coast of France and we be renovating for over a year.
Before I left Australia four months ago I had to have all my top teeth removed. The gum has healed well and recently I went to the Brighton Implant Clinic who did a panoramic xray and told me I was fine for an all on four procedure.
But I have decided I am not happy with the All on Four or any procedure which includes flap type surgery.
I cant wear a top denture. I gag even with the concave piece ground out of the back. I have an overbight and really need a denture without a top plate.
The only option I have left and which I pray will suite me is a removable denture with no top plate and ball bearings onto the o rings.
I have also lost a number of teeth on the bottom but the problem is I only have a limited budget because of the burden of renovating.
Are you able to help me? Brighton Implant Clinic said I would have to come back numerous times which isi financially impossilbe for me. I have tried contacting Dental clinics in France but I dont feel I can communicate with my limited language skills. Can you help me?
Regards

What other options do I have to plate dentures with implants?
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011I need, but am unable to afford dental implants, do the NHS provide them?
Monday, November 28th, 2011I never had enough adult teeth come through . The 2 teeth either side of my front top ones never grew. As a teenager they fitted me with a brace to pull the teeth there to the side to create 2 spaces big enough for 2 bridges to be fitted with false teeth. 10 years on I am visiting the dentist every couple weeks to have 1 or the other re-cemented in as they keep falling out. The dentist has told me all my other teeth are fine and healthy and recommended either implants or new bridges attached to crowns over the teeth either side. I cant afford either of these. Would they be available on the NHS? IF I keep having my healthy teeth filed down to re-attach my current bridges, I’ll soon end up damaging those teeth permanently.
Are there any cost effective replacement options as good as dental implants?
Monday, November 28th, 2011Our dentist has suggested dental implants for my wife who is 70 years of age. Dentist says that her gums are in good shape and will hold the implants. She needs three implants in upper and lower gums. My concern is age and post-menoposal stage. Howevere she has no bad post-monoposal signs and symptoms and not diabetic. What do you advise? We know our dentist for long time and trust him but I am looking for second opinion as the procedure is costly.
I am 72 years old and would like implants rather than dentures, what is the cost?
Tuesday, November 15th, 2011 Sir
I am 72 years old fit and healthy with looks and attitude that deny my age. I have all of my teeth removed and wear dentures. Despite having three sets of new dentures in less than one year none of them fit.
Is a complete set of dental implants possible and what would be the time scale of the treatment and the approximate cost.
I am fully mobile but live in Cumbria therefore I imagine there will be considerable travelling to a centre

I have a missing tooth but I don’t want dentures and can’t afford implants, are there any other options?
Monday, November 14th, 2011 I have a tooth missing , I am 22 years old and having a tooth missing is making me very wary of smiling. It is right at the front.
I have looked at all the websites of the local dentists but its the same story, its either a denture or an implant, problem is the implant costs thousands is there no other way without ending up with a denture. One dentist is telling me that i should just have a couple more teeth taken out because they are poor state and another dentist says its just cosmetic, I paid eighty pound at a private dentist to see what i needed done , so i didnt have any other work suggested by my original dentist that could make things worse. I am so frustrated because the private dentist came up with 8000 pound worth of treatment that needed to be carried out. I am a carer so obviously I don’t have to give away and nor did i get an answer to what i can do for my teeth that is going to cost me a fortune. Is there any treatment that can get my teeth in a healthy state and cover the gap at the front of my teeth that is in within my price range ?
Would £900 cover the cost of a dental implant?
Thursday, October 6th, 2011Hello Mr Tennet, I have two front teeth missing (1 upper 1 lower) whilst I wear a false plate for my upper it is not a very good fit and given this is my third one it is quite expensive £180-£200 a time. I pay a dental insurance £20 plus a month but this does not cover for “cosmetic” what are my options in terms of implant I could afford around £900 this year would that cover an upper implant? My missing lower tooth is as a result of the gum receeding so I doubt that an implant is an option. Is a consultation exspensive?
Can the NHS provide me with treatment for my missing tooth?
Friday, September 30th, 2011hi there dr tennet! 5 years ago my dentist pulled out a tooth next to my front teeth,it was broken but could have been filled,anyway he made a bridge that didnt fit,he filed it down and made it to small so i didnt wear it, ive looked at the cosmetic dentistry guide and i think it could be possible to have crowns fitted, im just to scared to ask incase they say no,its affecting how i talk and smile as i dont like to open my mouth.im only 27,ive quit smoking and have stopped suger completely,would you think its worth a try?also i know they cost alot of money and i lost my job last year could it be done on the nhs? regards
What can I do about my discoloured teeth?
Wednesday, August 31st, 2011 In 2007 I had my four front teeth knocked out, I have had root canal treatment on two of the on the right hand side of my mouth. Recently I have had to undergo root treatment on my other two teeth on the left hand side of my mouth, however it has been filled previously in root canal treatment. The dentist is having problems to unfill it all and if she carrys on with the root treatment it is possible that it will be unsuccessful. From all of these problems my front teeth have become highly discoloured and its embarrasing. I would like your help in telling my best possible action to make, although if I were to get dental implants it amounts to £2200 per tooth and that is far too expensive for myself to be able to afford. Also I am having to have gum treatment as i have decay in my gums.
I hope that you can help me as I am only 20 years old and I would like to have nice healthy white teeth.
