I wear an upper denture at the moment and aged 31

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
Q.
Hi there I wear an upper denture at the moment, and aged 31 this isnt ideal. I have looked into dental implants before but have been advised twice now that I have so little bone underneath the gum that I will need bone grafts taken from my hip. Im not too sure that I want bone taken from anywhere else and also the £40k price tag will also be an issue for me. I am at the stage now where I am not even leaving the house, and when Im taking the children to school, I dont even step out of the car. I am on anti-depressants longterm due to this also. It is significantly affecting my life and I’m investigating every area of hope at the moment. I already can feel how loose my denture has become recently and know I am on borrowed time with those, so really am desperate. Any advice you could give me would be fantastic. Many thanks x

I need 3 implants in my upper left quadrant

Thursday, November 27th, 2008
Q.
Hello Dr Glaister, I need 3 implants in my upper left quadrant following 2 failed bridges. I’m nervous about the treatment as my problem resulted from poor work of dentists. I’ve been quoted £5200 for 3 Imtec Endure implants in Antigua with a dentist who I believe is trustworthy. An alternative quote is £6500 for 3 Nobel Biocare in London. Can you give me any advice on the difference in systems and best value? Many thanks

Nibel Biocare is just a brand … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Q.
My husband one week ago had a 6 tooth bridge(front teeth) put in. There are gaps at the top of the teeth. He had bone disease due to an injury when he was young.

I just received 3 implants last year

Friday, November 21st, 2008
Q.
I just received 3 implants last year. Cost was over 5000.00 and was performed by an oral surgeon. One implant failed and the oral surgeon ended up replacing it and threw in an extra implant at a reduced cost. (Total now is 4) Everything healed Great. My regular dentist has had the partial made by a lab. The partial is actually a bridge covering the 4 implants and a couple other missing teeth. He is charging almost a 1000.00 per tooth. Also charging 2400.00 for implant parts?? He called it precious metals? What would that be? He never mentioned that cost up front before doing this work. I feel I’m getting ripped off. The charges keep adding up.
