It’s very difficult to advise on treatment without having a full consultation.

During a consultation the dentist would discuss what your hopes are for any potential treatment and go through what treatment options may be available to you.  They will normally take some x-rays to assess the amount of bone available for placing the implants.

I hope that this helps a little.

Thanks for your question.

The number of imlants used to support a denture varies from case to case.  But in some cases can be as little as 2. 

Cost wise, again this will vary but is often in the region of £5,000.

You would require to have a consultation with a dentist who will be able to advise your suitablilty for implant treatment.

For the upper, I always recommend 4 as a minimum, but the more implants you have the better. There are also other factors which have to be taken into account before deciding on the number of impants. This would be discussed after clinical and radiographic examination. I hope this helps.

If a tooth is removed then the remaining teeth around it will begin to move over time to fill in the space.  This can be in the form of adjacent teeth tipping which can make them difficult to keep clean or teeth that would normally bite together overerupt which can cause problems with the bite and could potentally lead to other problems.

It’s really up to you whether or not you want to leave the space there.  As long as you know all the reasons for filling the space and have all the options available to you, such as implant, denture, bridge?

Have a discussion with your dentist and I’m sure they’ll be able to answer all your questions.

I hope that this helps.

The options to replace missing teeth are
1. denture
2. bridge
3. implants.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your question.

Dental Implants are possibly an option for you.  You would need to have a consultation with a dentist who would be able to assess your potential suitablility and discuss the options with you. 

Implants can be used to provide additional support for dentures or indeed provide fixed teeth replacement for dentures.

I hope that this helps

Thanks for your question.

It’s difficult to give you an indepth answer without a consultation.

An implant is probably an option for you and prices for a single implant and restoration (crown) are usually in the region of £2,000.

There may be other options available to you such as a bridge or partial denture.

I would strongly recommend consulting a dentist who would be able to give you all the options and the pros and cons of each along with a more accurate estimate of costings.

I hope that this helps.
