I Want To Replace My Dentures With A Set Of Dental Implants, Can I Get Them Through The NHS?

Wednesday, June 26th, 2013
Q.

Hello Andrew, I am 38 and unfortunately with bad living etc I have been wearing a denture on my upper set for 5 yrs. I still see myself as too young for dentures & get to the point in the day when I feel i have to take it out,but with having a partner & kids this is very difficult as I wont let them see me without it. Basically I would like to know the approx cost of an upper set of dental implants, I realise in time bone in the jaw would deteriorate & that would have to be looked at. But I just think I can’t go through the rest of my life with the irritant of my upper denture. Also what does it take to get NHS help in my situation? So I would appreciate any information you could give to me, thank you very much.

I Have Been Told That I Am Unsuitable For Any Brace Treatment, Now What?

Thursday, June 20th, 2013
Q.

Hi, Dr Butt. I wondered if you could please advise me on something? I have crooked teeth but I have been told that I am unsuitable for any kind of braces or aligner as my top jaw is too narrow so there is no room for my teeth to actually straighten out. I had teeth removed as a child to make room for the rest to straighten out but this never happened and so I have been told I would need surgery. I don’t like the idea of surgery so am considering either implants or dentures as a total replacement. Will this be possible and which is best for the long term? I am in my early 30’s so want a long term solution.And something that would be cost efficient too, is there any treatment I can receive via finance options or anything of the sort that you know of? As I doubt any of the treatment I need would be available through the NHS. Thanks!

My Dentures Are Awful, What Advice Do You Have?

Friday, May 17th, 2013
Q.

I had to get top and bottom plates one year ago. I take bad with how false and ugly they are. I cannot bite into anything and have to cut everything up, even toast. I have lost loads of weight because of this. I cannot open my mouth to take a mouthful off a fork as my teeth fall down. They look like teeth shaped out of plastic, are all blended together and not one individual tooth. If I eat any thing even a biscuit my teeth are a mess with bits of food. I cannot eat in front of anybody because of this, therefore can never go out for a meal. I had bad teeth and made a desperate decision to get false sets. I am devastated and would be glad of any advice
Regards.

I Received Implants Last September And Still Can’t Brush My Teeth Properly, What Should I Do?

Wednesday, April 17th, 2013
Q.

I got dental implants surgery in late september .
I still have some original teeth and some temporary bridges and teeth but it still hurts to brush
,though I am brushing very softly and using corsodyl mouth wash and toothpaste quite a lot
I can see tartar around my implants what Can i do to get rid of tartar so implant does not fail? The tartar is building up more and more every day and it is really beginning to worry me! My breath is turning bad too, I keep receiving comments from family members. It has been months since my surgery, surely they should have healed up enough for me to brush my teeth properly by now? What would you recommend I should do? I can’t seem to remove the tartar no matter what I try and the implants cost me a fortune so I can’t have them fail on me! Please help, my dentist says to keep using the mouth wash but I don’t think it’s helping!

What would be the cost of implants to replace my partial top dentures?

Thursday, January 3rd, 2013
Q.

I would like to have an idea of how much it would cost for implants. I have a partial top denture at the moment. I have teeth that are causing me problems at the moment as they are slack so I am keeping my options open as to what to do. I do not know if I should go for another denture, it all comes down to cost. I have seen advertisements quoting £1,400 per implant so that would be too costly for the amount of teeth that I would need.

I want to explore my implant options in the UK including the cost, quality and guarantee. Can you advise?

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013
Q.

Dear Dr. Bohara,

I am based in Qatar in the Middle East. Since I had troublesome upper teeth and some were missing due to bad hygiene and dental bridges did not work for me, as they came off pretty often, hence I went to India for tooth implant. The dental surgeon there took out all my upper teeth, did some bone grafting and gave me a denture to wear as a stop gap. The implant will now take place six months from today (say in June) and then the final prosthesis in another six months. I was told that I need 8 implants. I am not too happy with this process. I want to explore what my options are in the UK, the cost , the quality, the guarantee that the teeth will last long,and the time required for your 4 implants method.
your guidance in this regard will be very much appreciated. Please also let me have the location of your clinic and how long in advance I will have to make an appointment as I will have to fly down to London for the treatment.
