Can you tell me if you can provide sedation, and just a ball park price for an implanted upper denture? I just want to get an idea, I understand that many issues can affect the price, but I would still like to know, thank you. I will need 5 upper teeth removed, and I also would like one implant in my lower jaw. I do have a partial upper denture at the moment, but I have found I just cannot get used to them.
Hey, Dr Hughes. I have a few missing teeth and the teeth I have are discoloured. I am getting so down about their appearance. Is there any way I can get them fixed so I can finally having a bright smile like my friends, but at a low cost? I have been told that treatment will cost around £5000, and that would be for a couple of implants, teeth whitening and a new crown. I cannot afford this and I hate leaving the house due to my smile. Do they have students learning or something that could do it or any other cheaper alternatives? I’m stuck for options. Thank you for reading this question.
Hello Dr Patel. I have a question for you. I have a front tooth that is missing and I really need to get this fixed. There’s another tooth that is also loose and that is about to come out as well. My question is: how much does screw a tooth cost and can a regular dentist do this? How does this work? What I mean is, do I need to have a certain problem other than a missing tooth? Also do you put a person to sleep for this or just use shots to numb the gum area to do the screw in tooth. Any other information you can provide me with would be great. Thank you.
I had to have my upper “1st molar” tooth removed due to having a really bad filling done by an NHS dentist where they weakened and killed my tooth causing it to split in half when I was chewing. Since having it removed I haven’t had anything put in to replace the tooth. However I have noticed the lower “1st molar” has started to rise up as it is higher than the other lower level teeth. I am worried if I don’t have something done to replace the upper “1st molar” this will cause me more problems? I wanted to go for the implant however I’m unsure how much it will be and do not think I can afford to do that at present and was wondering if there was an alternative that wouldn’t affect the health of my other surrounding teeth?
I’m a 28 year old female and my teeth are really making me feel depressed. I had a few bad experiences when I was young visiting the dentist and often would have to be held down by the other dentists as I was so afraid. I try my best to have regular check-ups but it seems every time I go, I walk away with a big list of work that needs doing. My mouth is just a mass of black, I just hate it. I was told my options were an implant or a denture as my teeth next to it were too brittle to support a bridge. I opted for a denture as I didn’t want to spend that amount of money on 1 implant to sit next to my other bad teeth. When the dentist removed my root canal 2 months ago, she couldn’t get it out and literally had to destroy my gum to get to it. I was left with what I can only describe as an upside down v up my gum! The denture I have is just awful. It covers the entire roof of my mouth and drops down onto my tongue sometimes when I’m eating. I’ve been told I need 2 more root canals on my back teeth both sides. It seems every tooth in my mouth is at a different stage of needing work and I feel it will only be a matter of time before those root canals will fail and I’ll need more implants. My teeth are a little discoloured but apart from my missing front tooth my teeth don’t look that bad from the outside, they are just very brittle, always have been. My question to you is this, I want to have all of my teeth removed and a full set of implants, top and bottom. I’ve discussed this with my dentist and for some reason she won’t entertain the idea, simply telling me its always best to keep your own teeth which I feel is a massive contradiction when she tells me the sheer scale of all the work I need? Financially I can afford to pay for them, I think the price I have seen is around 25k, I have always wanted a perfect, white, bright smile.
Hi Mark. I recently had 2 implants fail (upper molars) after 2 years. My dentist said this is because I smoke, is that really likely to be the cause after 2 years? I thought the main risk was in the early stages? I avoided smoking (practically) during the first 6 months. I am 46 and otherwise healthy. I would appreciate any advice on this. My dentist didn’t offer any failure plan at the time, so I will need to pay to have these done again! Thanks.
Hello Dr Moore, I am just asking this question as I am suffering from really bad erosion and decay of the teeth, half of my teeth have fallen out due to this and it’s really taking a toll on my self confidence as it is really embarrassing. I am just wondering if long term teeth implants would be an option? I currently claim benefits which is for Jobseekers, so I have very little to spend on them. Could you please tell me the cheapest option for long term implants please? Thank you, any advice you can offer me would be greatly received.
Hi Marcus. Could you please tell me if my situation would warrant funding of NHS for implants as I’m desperate. I am a student nurse and have been told that I may not be able to attend my next placement due to teeth missing at the front of my mouth (I tripped and had a small rake in my hand that hit me in the mouth).
I am pretty devastated as not only have I lost teeth I may lose my place. Hope to hear from you soon and thanks in advance for any help you can offer me.
Hi, I would really like to know whether you can have a bridge fitted if there is just one tooth at one side and two teeth at the other side. I believe I need a bridge for four teeth? I have a partial denture at the moment, the space is between my front teeth and I would really like to do something about it, but implants are a bit too expensive for me. I have had the dentures for the past thirty years and not sure if anything can be done for me now, perhaps you can advise me on this whether it would be possible to do or not?
