Wednesday, May 28th, 2008
Q.
I have worn a top denture for over 30 years, recently I having implants or a implant supported denture, I went for an x ray and was told because of the loss of bone I would need to have a bone graft this sounds like a long process and I would not be able to wear my denture for about one month, so it looks like I am going to be stuck with dentures and fixative, the dentist told me that even this wont be an option in about five years because there will be no bone or suction left for dentures to remain stable is there any solution you could advise me of?

I am loosing all my teeth through gum disease what is the best denture

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008
Q.
Good morning Dr. Through gum disease I am losing all my teeth. I have lost my back teeth on both sides and have purchased a part denture to help the situation. I am struggling with the denture. My private dentist advices that I can have a permanent full denture put in which will be held up by 2 retainer studs which are fitted into the back gum on each side of my mouth. He says he wants £15000 for this which is a great deal of money. Is this the set price that every one charges? Also can you please tell me what is the best flexible and thinnest denture material available as the plate of the one I have been given is so thick, rigid and uncomfortable to wear. Many thanks

Thursday, May 1st, 2008
Q.
I presently wear upper dentures- only two back upper teeth were holding it up. However, about a year ago I lost one of them and it seems I am about to lose the other. What steps should I take if I lose that one other tooth. I will have nothing to hold the denture in place. Should I now get implants surgically implanted in top. Please advise.

I want the best natural looking dentures but have no money for implants

Friday, April 4th, 2008
Q.
My dentist told me today I have no other choice but to have a full top denture I am so depressed and have cried all day What would be the most natural looking and best denture to consider. I am only 35yrs old I have always had beautiful teeth but due to being a single mother of two boys when I have grinded and broke my teeth from this and not having the money to fix the broken tooth it has then resulted in getting it pulled.

I wish I could get implants but I know that is a dream I will never get due to getting the things for boys they need which comes first. I have never been so depressed getting such news it seems so unfair I work hard but because I am not rich I have to look like a old lady and can’t even eat my food. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry I wrote so much I am just upset about all this. But If I do have to have these dentures I want natural looking ones.

I had 4 teeth extracted and my denture does not fit

Sunday, March 9th, 2008
Q.
Good afternoon, Dr. Patel. I am in need of professional advice. I have had my four front bottom teeth extracted today and a denture fitted. Once the numbness cause by the injections had subsided and I was able to have a closer look at my ‘new teeth’ I find, to my horror, that there is a 2mm gap between the ‘new teeth’ and my gum. Obviously, the denture does not fit properly. It looks absolutely grotesque. I have an appointment to see my Dentist tomorrow……what should I be looking for? I am totally shaken by what I see and I don’t know what can be done. Can you advise? Kind regards
