I want an implant but fear that my gum has receded too much, what should I do?

Q. I am onto my second bridge after losing one of my front teeth over 15 years ago. I have always disliked the bridge and can now afford to get implants but I am worried that with the tooth missing the gum may have receded somewhat. Can you advise?,
A. This can usually be dealt with fairly easily.

Is a denture going to give me natural looking teeth?

Q. I am going to have all my teeth removed according to my dentist and then get dental implants and a denture. But I am not sure about the denture part. Is this a good choice for natural looking teeth or are there any other better options?,
A. There are better options than a denture you can have a fixed implant screw retained bridge. A lot more expensive My fees for a full upper fixed implant retained bridge is £13,000.00 this includes the implants. I am happy to offer you a free consultation.
