I need implants to replace my missing teeth, but I am worried about the cost

Thursday, August 18th, 2011
Q.

Hi,
I’ve been researching dental implants and I’d love to be able to get them. I have bad teeth, partly because I haven’t looked after them enough and also due to a psychological disorder (dismorphophobia caused me to brush my teeth 20 – 40 times per day in my teens/early 20’s).

Also, when I was very young, I had an accident causing the top front 4 teeth to crack and have had crowns since around age 10 – the dysmorphophobia condition stems from this.

These 4 teeth and 2 others next to the canine on the left side of the upper jaw are where I’d like implants (as soon as possible, I’d like more on the other side of the same row later).

My main question is about the cost – can the 4 teeth be replaced with 2 implants, with the other 2 teeth replaced with 1 implant along with bridges?

I don’t have good credit, so will be taking out an expensive loan to pay for the treatment, so I’d like to know if the above proposal is a reasonable request (rather than 1 implant per tooth), and one which would be a lasting solution.

Many thanks for your time.

Are there payment options for dental treatments?

Friday, June 24th, 2011
Q.

Hello Doctor, hope you are well 

I have 2 cracked teeth that hurts when I drink cold drinks, one is cracked in like between 2 teeth and the other is cracked on the back, they are the second teeth from the back at the top and bottom. 1 fang tooth that’s really out of place and one front tooth that is grey and I really need to get them fixed but I don’t know how I would pay for it do dentists expect all the payment in one or do you pay like monthly?

thanks very much for your time

Q.

i have noticed a crack in my top tooth running from one side to the other at the front of one of my top teeth it is very close to the gum line what do think it is and what would be the best form of repair. Also seem to have developed very sensitive gums or even gum disease what would be the best method for treatment.

Filling used on front cracked teeth looks translucent. What advice can you give?

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010
Q.

My 9 year old daughter fell yesterday and her front teeth took the force of the fall. The teeth are still there but she cracked both her front teeth. I rushed her to the emergency dentist and they have filled the teeth in. Last night when I was looking at them I could see where the crack was and the filling looked quiet translucent. What advice can you give?

Q.
Hello I am unemployed and a part time university student. One of my molars has cracked in half and is causing me some discomfort. Will I be able to get any help with getting this sorted out? Also, I have just given up smoking and have noticed behind my lower central incisors there is alot of brown/black, possibly tobacco staining. What is a good toothpaste to get rid of this? Thanks,

I have always taken good care of my teeth, (brushing

Friday, October 8th, 2010
Q.
I have always taken good care of my teeth, (brushing 2-3x daily, flossing 1-2x daily, and using mouthwash 2-3x daily). I noticed last week there are a few of my teeth that are chipping off, and a few of my back teeth, in front of my wisdom teeth are discolored. I would like to get lumineers or veneers, I am a teeth grinder. Would you recommend either? If so, may I use a mouth guard to correct this problem while I have lumineers or veneers? Thank you. Have a great day.,
