Can I have my bridge replaced by an NHS dentist, after suffering from gum disease?

November 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi, quite a few years ago i had a bridge fitted on my bottom 3 front teeth, sme years later it has alot of build up of plauqe around it and the gums have gone down showing the two teeth either side underneath which look black. I have only just been to see my dentist today after not going for a number of years due to fear! He has told me that it has gum disease around it and is swollen but i cannot have this done on the nhs and can only have a replacement bridge done privately costing around £1300 is this right?? Many Thanks x

I need 6 teeth at the front of my mouth replacing, what are my options?

September 3rd, 2012
Q.

i am about to have 6 of my teeth from the front of my mouth taken out and as my doctor is NHS the only treatments available to me are dentures and bridges, but i would really like a long lasting option. are dental implants able to restore 6 teeth and would these be individual? Could you also give me an estimated price for this treatment and how long it would take until I had my new teeth?

thank you for your time doctor moore

Is there any way to replace NHS bridge that isn’t too expensive?

July 15th, 2011
Q.
Hi, I was wondering can you please help me. I am 23 years old and when I was 17 I was given a bridge on my front 4 teeth on the NHS. I had perfect teeth apart from these which I had problems with – some adult ones not developing properly/also I would grind them in my sleep. At the time I remember not liking the bridge – it felt \’fake\’ and looked to me, quite like an elderly person would wear without causing offence. It made smiling \’ok\’ but not what I\’d hoped. I\’d gone through having braces previously & am even more disappointed with the bridge years later as at the gumline it is starting to get really, really dark & you can see a hole/metal at the top. I\’ve made an appt with my dentist to discuss this but I\’m guessing she\’s going to tell me things are fine/as it is more of a cosmetic problem I have with it. My q is please – I am receiving benefits at the moment for another medical issue. I dont have a lot of money. Is there any options to replace an awful NHS bridge? Seeing it is \’fixed\’ etc. I see so many people having smile makeovers with veneers/implants etc. Do the NHS do this for people like me do you know? Or do sometimes private dentists offer free makeovers if they can use before/afters? Thank you.,
