Recommend some dentists who implants dentures in Birmingham.

Saturday, October 10th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have been wearing a denture for 30 years, I have 3 front top middle teeth. My denture is a metal plate with 2 wires that wrap around my teeth. I have had 3-4 in total also tried acylic one at one stage of which made me keep heeving, couldn’t take to it at all. My denture now is very lose and irritating my palet and gums I expect and my dentist today suggests I have another acrylic one without wires as he doesn’t recomend the metal ones anymore. He has quoted me £198 (nhs). I was wandering if I would perhaps be able to have a Valplast one with some back teeth on as I haven’t had any back top teeth since I was 19 – 20yrs old. If I could I would rather put the £198 towards this as if I have another acylic one I may not be able to wear it again. I live in Birmingham. could you give me some idea of a price and maybe recomend someone In Birmingham. I am getting married in September this year and would love the confidence to smile. Many thanks.

One side of my mouth has a hole and missing teeth could you advice

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
Q.
I have had dental problems from a young child, this has caused me to develop a fear of the dentist, most of my teeth which I still have are crowns, and fillings a few of my front teeth are fake too. I currently only eat on one side of my mouth as the other side has a hole and a tooth missing. the side which I am eating on also has a hole, and the teeth are in a bad condition food always gets stuck in it People are always wondering why it takes me so long to eat my food but Im too embarrassed to say its my teeth. I tried having a denture fitted to replace the lost one but it was uncomfortable, kept moving and food kept going under it. Im so scared to go to the dentist me not being able to eat is having implications on my diet. Im so scared I dont know what to do I dont want to have a set of full dentures by the time im 40 which is the direction im heading im 29. The amount of treatment I would need would cost me so much money which I do not have at the moment. What do you advise please help kind regards

My teeth seem to soft No matter what I do how can i get it fixed

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
I dont know where to start. im 33 and my teeth are in very bad repair. A lot if the work carried out over the years has failed. My teeth seem to soft, No matter what I do, Brush 3 times a day, mauth wash, floss, nothing seems to help. I have developed a major fear of the dentist now, to the extent that when in the chair my chest tightens and have been known to cry. My 2 lovely boys 5 and 2 have to be taken to the dentist by my wife as I just cant face it. I know I have to go but I dont know how I can, Im 33 and my teeth of a 80 year, I dont smile, my gums are always sore. With the current was the world is, Im not sure I can afford anything. Just if I could weake up one morning and my teeth have been replaced I would be the happiest person alive. Its got to that point in my life that I dont want to laugh or even talk with people because of my teeth and the feeling of detures, well I guess thats all I have left to look forward to. Sorry going on to much but just had enough. thanks
