Is There Any Way I Can Get Dental Implants for Free?

Wednesday, July 29th, 2015
Q.

Hello,
I am enquiring about dental implants. I have had a medical problem that has caused me to take medication that has in effect damaged my teeth and gums so badly. They are in desperate need of repair. I am a benefit claimant and cannot afford the high costs of this treatment. I would like some advice on how I can receive implant treatment that is either free or affordable.
Regards.

How Long Do Dental Implants Take to Fit?

Thursday, July 23rd, 2015
Q.

Hi. I have a bridge/crown on the my front three teeth which I have had for at least 20 years. It is now feeling very weak and is going to fail at any time. I was wondering if dental implants would be an option, and if so how long would they take to fit (do you need weeks for the implants to settle?) and I’m conscious that I would be left with a gap. Do you have any idea of the rough costs? I know it’s a little vague but just thought that I would ask the question before booking an an initial assessment. Many thanks.

Are There Any Alternatives to Dentures?

Monday, July 20th, 2015
Q.

Hello. I currently have three missing top right teeth and have a denture, but it’s making me gag and I’m finding it very hard to eat and drink. It is also rubbing on my supporting teeth and making holes. I brush twice daily and have a healthy diet. My teeth are making me very depressed and my dentist isn’t very supportive. I have always had a fear of the dentist and when I lost my first adult tooth I was brave and went to a dentist. At first he was friendly but now I feel that he just does what he likes with my teeth and he doesn’t listen to me and about how I feel and what I want my teeth to look like. I am currently out of work so I understand some things are not available on the NHS but it is causing me serious depression and my children keep asking me why I have funny teeth. I never smile in pictures or want to talk to people, this has caused me to be come very un-sociable.

Are Bridges a Suitable Alternative to Dental Implants?

Monday, July 20th, 2015
Q.

Good afternoon. I would like to improve the appearance of my teeth. I have a missing tooth at the back of my mouth on the right hand side and a crown next to it. The crown broke a year ago but the dentist was able to mend it back together.

I would like to replace the crown and replace the missing tooth with two bridges.

I’m not able to afford implants so wondered if bridges were a suitable alternative to implants?

Thank you.

Can You Get Dental Implants on the NHS?

Friday, July 3rd, 2015
Q.

Hi, I’m 30 years old and my teeth are bad through my own fault. I’m really embarrassed and ashamed of my teeth and when I talk to someone I can see them looking at my teeth and some of my friends laugh at me and call me names so I don’t really socialise with anyone, and that’s including my family. I sit in my bedroom all the time watching TV so I dont get laughed at. I really need implants, I dont just want them to have nice teeth I want them so I can get the confidence to go outside and talk to people without feeling embarrassed and ashamed. How much cosmetic treatment can you get for £50 month? Can you get implants on NHS?

Could I Still Have Implants with an Impacted Tooth?

Monday, June 15th, 2015
Q.

I need an expert’s opinion on implants. If I can have implants it wont be straight forward as I have a second tooth in the
roof of my mouth which never descended when my milk tooth eventually fell out when I was 35 years old .I was told that I was too old to have the tooth removed from top of my mouth. Now at the age of 63 I need implants and wonder if it would get the way. I feel only an expert would be able to deal with this.

I Have Had Many Teeth Removed. How Can I Get My Smile Back?

Friday, June 12th, 2015
Q.

Hello my question today is to ask about implants. Since a young age I have had epilepsy, I’m now 43 and growing up was difficult because of my fits. During said fits I would bite down hard to the point where my teeth would break and chip. Most wre taken out because of this. Adulthood was the same. I wear a plate now and most of my adult teeth are gone. My epilepsy is under control to a degree and not as bad as it was. Is there any treatment for me to have my smile back? It has impacted every area of my life and having a smile would change my life. Many thanks.

Is It Possible to Get Treatment from Students?

Thursday, June 11th, 2015
Q.

I saw you on this morning and thought you came across as approachable and the work you had done was amazing. I could not afford this treatment but wondered if you knew of anywhere where you could go as a patient for students. I have missing teeth and it really depresses me. I had breast surgery some years ago which has left me with a deformity but doesn’t bother me anywhere as much as my teeth. All I can get with the NHS is a very ill fitting denture but now it’s got where I don’t have any confidence at all. The denture is forever falling out and the plate just makes me gag. Most of my lower back teeth are missing. I had a school dentist many years ago who removed four and two of these never were replaced with adult teeth. I feel like my face is now sinking and wasting away.

Can I Have Implants If I Grind My Teeth?

Friday, June 5th, 2015
Q.

Hi there. I have bruxism (grinding/clenching teeth in my sleep) and retainers don’t help. Due to that I have craked my teeth and had to have them extracted. I was given dentures, which I have been wearing for over 2 years. Even though they are vaeloplast flexible ones, I have noticed they are damaging the other teeth they hold onto- I am contemplating implants but because of the bruxism I’m not sure if thats a good idea. The teeth that need replacing are all in the lower part of mouth- I have had 1 implant for the top tooth but the tooth is yet to be put on. I would appreciate your advice on this. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Many thanks.
