What is the price range for having full jaw implants?

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I would like to have implants for my full upper and lower jaw. I have been reluctant to show a smile since 16yo shortly I completed 5 years of braces (with headgear) and the results were a jaw and smile worse than before it started. I have had some extractions, and another 2 are starting to decay, so i feel it may be the right time now. I have seen the results of full jaw implants in USA and was told they were about £5000? How much does a complete mouth cost? Is it better/cheaper going abroad, in which case where would you recommend. Is there any help you can give on what to look for? Many thanks for your help.

My crown is still feeling unnatural after two months. Is this normal?

Monday, October 4th, 2010
Q.
Hello Doctor, Tooth number 13 had some decay which caused it to crack and lose structure. A local dentist had performed a post and crown procedure. Problem is that the crown still feels unnatural after nearly 2 months. Cosmetically it looks great, however I can feel it rub on the inside of my cheek and is very distracting. Is this considered normal?,

Why did my tooth break off like that?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi, my 3rd from back (molar) tooth has broken during my last dinner when I chewed on a very hard piece of food. Only a small piece of my tooth came off and has not gone past my gum line, there is about 1 millimeter of tooth until the gum begins. There is no pain and it has previously (many years ago) had a filling. I obviously know i have to go the dentist, but I am just after maybe a reason for this happening and a rough guide of what will happen next. Thanks,
A.

Should my dentist be responsible for replacing the cap and the work required to fix my problem?

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
Q.
I just had my very back tooth capped last year and had gone back to the dentist for my yearly check-up and was told that I had a leaking tooth where it was just capped which indicated decay. Should the dentist be responsible for replacing the cap and the work required to fix the problem. They mention several times how well I take care of my teeth with brushing and flossing so I do not think it was my fault. Please advise, thank you!,
