How much would the bone augmentation cost on top of the implants?

Q. My dentist has told me I need implants but has then told me that I also need bone augmentation. This sounds scary to me but if its for he cause of good teeth then I can make an exception. How much would this add on to the cost of implants though, please?,
A. Hi thanks for your question. It\’s difficult to say what the additional costs are going to be as it will depend on the type of bone augmentation required. You could be looking at anything from £500 to several thousand. Your dentist should be able to tell you the costs as part of your complete treatment plan as well as talk you through the procedure which will hopefully allay any fears that you may be having.

Can dental implants fix my denture pain?

Q. I\’ve worn dentures for a long time now and can no longer take the pain, they\’re killing me! Can dental implants fix this? Any advice would be great, thank you.,
A. Hi thanks for your question. If you\’re struggling with the dentures then dental implants may be an option for you. The best thing to do would be to have a consultation where you can discuss the problems with your dentures and explore the options for restoring you mouth with dental implants. Regards George Glover

The treatment seems very costly, is this the best treatment for me?

Q. Hi, please can i ask for your advise, I had a fall several years ago, & my front tooth died so i had route canal & vaneer fitted however the tooth is now coming lose so my dentist has advised that i have a implant costing in total with bone graffting around £3000. He said it would take around 8 months in total to complete as the longer we leave my gum to heal the better the results. However he called me today to say that i should go to see a specialist dentist who could do the work in one go but the consultation is £95.00 i m a little confussed now. Is this just a way to get more money from me or is this the best option for me?,
A. Hi thanks for your question. Unfortunately I can\’t say what the most appropriate option for you is without a full consultation. Carrying out any dental treatment towards the front of the mouth where the results are more visible is always a difficult process as understandbly all dentists want their clients to be happy with the smile and therefore may refer to another dentist or specialist practicioner who perhaps has more experience. I would perhaps suggest discussing with your dentist why he would like you to see a specialist? I understand that £95 is a lot of money, but you do need to be sure that you are going to get an end result you will be happy with. I hope that this helps. Regards George Glover

Can you help us understand the bridge implant procedure?

Q. Please help.My son needs his front tooth due to an abcess.Hes having a maryland bridge fitted.Our dentist is doing the work but a specialist is doing the implant.We thought this would last 2-4 years then have the implant if the gap was packed or something? The bridge is costing about £500.Our dentist said last week my son should have the implant within 6 months.Also his gum is damaged and goes up,is there anything we could do,he was told it would cost thousands.All this is due to an assalt and its very upsetting for us both so could you please help us to understand this procedure..I go to see my dentist today when i could ask a few more questions.Thank-you,
A. If cost is an issue he could try keeping the bridge for longer before committing to the implant, you could also check with the criminal injuries board to see if compensation is possible

Can you be too old for dental implans?

Q. Can you be too old to have dental implants? I\’m fed up of my dentures. i\’m just wondering though, would the risk be increased the older you happen to be?? Thank you for any advice,
A. The oldest patient I have placed dental implants is in a 80 year old. Age is not a risk factor, as long as the patients is generally healthy.
