Can you tell me how to be confident in my dentists ability to fit an implant?

Friday, March 11th, 2011
Q.

I have been missing my top right front tooth for around five years now and wearing a denture in its place. My dentists have recommended implants in the past but the cost has been too high. When I went for my check up this time round my dentist told me that she is currently training in doing single tooth implants with the Royal College of Surgeons, is looking for patients and that my gap is just about perfect.

My dentist has offered to reduce the price for my implant and crown to £1800 (she quoted a normal price of £2300) and said to think about it. Today she has said that it should be around £1500. I had x-rays and impressions taken today so they can decide if there is enough bone remaining to go ahead.

I have two questions now. From reading this site it seems that £1500 might be quite high for a reduced price. My dentist advertises as a cosmetic dentist, and I expect that the quality of the crown etc will be good, but I have no frame of reference to decide if this is a good price for the procedure. I was also worried that they could not give me a firm price, saying that depending on how the procedure goes, more treatment may be required, which would increase the price.

I am concerned that if they decide there is enough bone to proceed I might still be a marginal case and that this might reduce the potential lifetime of the implant. Is this possibly the case?

Sorry for such a long-winded question, and thanks for any advice you can give.

Can you tell me the cost of 4 on 1 and mini implants for replacing teeth?

Q.

Hi,
I would be grateful for your advice.
I have worn an upper partial denture for over 30 years, l am now 55, l have had years of problems with various types of denture and lots of bad experiences over the years, l have seen details of 4 on 1 and mini denture implants on the website, they sound like an answer to a dream and l wonder if you could give me a rough idea of the cost, the denture l have now has the 4 main front teeth, and 4 back teeth 2 on either side, sad to say l do not have much money to spend , if you give me the cheapest way possible l would be most grateful

What can I do to replace missing teeth?

Thursday, March 10th, 2011
Q.

Hello. I hope you can offer me some advice. Ten years ago I had a riding accident and my two front teeth were knocked out. Since then I’ve made do with one maryland bridge and one of my original teeth which was replaced and root canal filled. Since then that tooth has fallen out and my maryland kept falling away so I have a denture. It’s horrible and keeps falling out. I cannot afford implants and i do not know what to do. I used to have beautiful teeth and now, every way I turn any kind of solution will cost thousands. I cannot get a local NHS dentist, I’ve been trying for two years and cannot find anyone that will take me on. I need to do something though as last week I lost my teeth in the swimming pool when I took my little boy swimming! Is there anything that could be done that is affordable? I have a 5yr old CCJ on my file so loans are not really an option sadly. Thanks in advance.

How should I choose a dentist?

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr. Verma, I live in the U.S. California. I am impressed with your smile makeover gallery. I am getting implants in # 29 and 30, and 19, 20. I will also be getting crowns on 7 – 10, which will hopefully match the existing crowns on either side. Do you know of a cosmetic dentist in the Napa or Solano Counties of California? What is the advantage to a cosmetic dentist vs. a general dentist who may be talented in the area of crowns? Thank you for your time.
