Would I be able to get dental implants on the NHS?
Q.
Hi I have 7 up back tooth missing and 6 down back missing. I had gum disease and so tried denture but they didn’t work for me and I got sick every time I put them on. What can I do to get dental implants? How much does it cost? I lost all my confident and dont smile anymore because my front teeth are of different sizes and they have gaps and i noticed the gap is getting wider. My kids nicknamed me goofy. I have been trying to save some money to fix this problem but i think its very expensive.Would I qualify for NHS treatment? I am 38 years old?

Hi and thank you for your questions.
Hi and thank you for your questions.
The best piece of advice I can give you now is to attend a consultation with an experienced implant dentist. There are lots of potential variables involved in your treatment options and it’s nearly impossible to giv you accurate answers without fully assessing your situation.
Your treatment options are impossible to assess without examining you and seeing X-rays and maybe even a CT scan might be needed?
I would seek the advice of a very experienced expert in implants as soon as you can. If costs are prohibitive by going privately please call your local NHS advice centre for options.
Best wishes
Mark
