Q. I would like to ascertain if people are eligible for implant on NHS or subsidised somewhat as an NHS patient ? I have just been advised by my dentist that due to the fact my root canal treatment has failed then an implant is the best option. I am very concerned at the potential costs, i am also concerned that my dentist has advised the bone in my jaw has shrank significantly and will continue to do so which will eventually cause problems with my remaining teeth !,
