I am registered disabled, can I get dental implants through the NHS?

Thursday, December 6th, 2012
Q.

hi dr moore. i am 47 and have no top teeth due to gum disease and as a result of domestic abuse as my ex-husband who knocked a lot of them out. i have a full top denture but it is uncomfortable, and does not stay in place even using denture fixatives. i do not seem to be able to use my front teeth for biting they just don;t work. how much would implants cost? and would it be possible to get any assistance from the nhs given my circumstances? i currently am on the nhs list with my dentist and am registered disabled. i have tried numerous denture fixatives but none of them stick them in well enough.Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I have lost several teeth and would like to get dental implants on the NHS. Any advice?

Monday, November 26th, 2012
Q.

I am a 44 yr old woman; as a result of a brain aneurysm, I had a stroke, which further resulted in a seizure and I lost my front teeth when I hit the ground face first and fractured the bone that holds yr front teeth. I am extremely self-conscious of having a partial denture and have had many problems with it. I understand under some circumstances, its possible to qualify for dental implants on the NHS. I have lost 10 teeth from my upper jaw so have no chance of ever being able to afford the costs privately. It is really affecting my confidence and getting me down. Any advice?

I can’t afford to pay for cosmetic dental treatments, what are my options?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
Q.

HI there

My teeth are in a really bad state. I had some porcelain crowns on posts done (front top 4 teeth between canines) about 20 years ago. I am now 38 and have lost two of the crowns which has obviously left two gaps and has left some quite ugly decaying bone where the teeth were. All four canines are decaying. ALL my back teeth at the top are either filled, decaying or both. I have no back teeth at the bottom apart from the very back ones. I had a breakdown in November 2011 and have been suffering from anxiety and depresssion since then and I take Fluoxetine on a daily basis. I have just got myself a new job at Jaguar but the state of my teeth is causing people to comment which is making me more depressed. I am not in a position to pay for cosmetic dentistry and am looking for some advice. Hope you can offer something in the way of an answer.
Many Thanks.

What types of implants are available and are they suitable for me?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have a few dental issues and don’t know what to do. Currently, 

I am missing 7 teeth in total: all 4 wisdom teeth, both upper first molars and the left permanent incisor. I required braces because of this for 2 years when I was 15. I was then told to wait till I was 18 or 19 for my jaw to stop growing before getting an implant to replace my left incisor. During this time the roots of the teeth either side have begun to move towards each other. I went to have an implant but was told there was not enough space for the implant. I would just like to know what options I have? Also what implants are available now and do you think they’d be suitable for me? Thanks for any help

I have lost the majority of my teeth but am scared of the dentist, can you help?

Monday, April 30th, 2012
Q.

I have lost almost all of my teeth over many years, some extracted many years ago. However the rest have come out due to my gums receeding over the last 10 years or so. I only have 3 left and only 1 of them is a complete tooth. I have a very severe phobia which prevents me from visiting a dentist and feel I simply cannot go. I am not scared of needles or pain but suffer from panic attacks which prevent me from sitting in the chair or waiting in the waiting room. If I could find one that could treat me as an NHS patient by visiting me at home would my gums be ok for dentures?, or will they have shrunk too much?. I have not seen a dentist in over 25 yrs. thank you for any help you can give me

Can I find dental implant treatment for £1500?

Monday, April 23rd, 2012
Q.

Hi,

I am 20 years old and I recently cracked my baby tooth. I went to the dentist and was told that there is not an adult tooth underneath my current tooth and therefore will need the implant to placed. The tooth is the middle bottom tooth.

How much will it cost to get an implant placed? I checked a local periodontist, and to have one tooth placed it costs £2200, which is rather expensive. I am looking for treatment that will cost £1500 or less. Furthermore, how long is the whole process from consultation until the end of treatment?

Thank You
