Can I Get Implant Treatment on the NHS?

July 4th, 2015
Q.

Hi Kalpesh, unfortunately my situation isn’t great. I haven’t taken enough care of my teeth over the last year or so and as a result they’re not in good shape. Aside from being worn down, they are also really crooked so my mouth does not look pleasant at all. I’ve been doing some research and as far as I can see I have 2 main options. I could have the bad teeth removed on the NHS and then pay for a brace with a private orthodontist, or have them taken out and get a full set of dental implants. Is this correct? Ideally I’d like to know how much this would all cost. Would I be able to receive free or discounted treatment as I am currently 25, fresh out of university and don’t have a job?

Can I Have My Implant Taken Out and Put Back In?

June 19th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Glover. I’m just wondering if a loose implant can be placed back in, so the loose implant is really being replaced by the same implant? It started to feel loose just over a month after I had it placed and my dentist said my bone level is fine, but only the tip of the implant is in the bone. I’m not sure if the drilling was done properly but I’m not sure if I can have it replaced with the same implant. What do you think?

I’m a Dentist in the US. Can You Give Me Any Information on Friatec Frialit-2 Dental Implants?

June 18th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I work at an oral surgery practice in the US and have a patient that needs an MRI. She had a Friatec Frialit-2 dental implant placed back in 1998. I’m trying to find information on what metals the implant is made of. At the time those implants were distributed by Interpore International here in the US. I can’t seem to find anything on these implants currently other than they are used in the UK. Hoping you can help me with this.

How Much Does All On 4 Treatment Cost, and Am I Suitable?

June 12th, 2015
Q.

Hey Dr Moore. I need 10 teeth removing, and I would like to have All On 4 treatment on both my upper and lower jaws. Currently I have a denture of 6 teeth along the lower jaw, but there are 4 next to it that are in very bad condition. On the upper jaw there are 6 teeth in bad condition, with no denture there at all. Ideally I’d like an idea on how much the treatment costs, but should probably mention that I suffer from gum disease and it’s quite bad. Am I suitable for All On 4?

Is the Success Rate of an Implant Related to the State of the Surrounding Teeth?

May 3rd, 2015
Q.

Hey. I’m just wondering, is the success rate of a dental implant in any way related to the teeth surrounding it? I have a missing tooth, and the two teeth beside is are not in the best condition, though I don’t want to get rid of them. Will keeping them in place affect how successful the dental implant would be? Thanks.

My Dental Implant Was Itching and Now it Won’t Stop Bleeding. Any Advice?

April 24th, 2015
Q.

Hi, I did something really stupid. I had my implants fitted only 3 weeks ago and was extremely itchy around one of the areas. I scratched it and now it won’t stop bleeding. I thought it would stop but it hasn’t! I’ve tried everything and I’m scared that it means my implant is failing. I’m seeing my implant dentist tomorrow but just wondered if you could advise me for now? I need to feel better…I spent SO much money on these implants. Thanks for your time.

I’m Anxious About Having Dental Treatment But Really Want My Smile Back. What Can Be Done?

April 6th, 2015
Q.

Hi there. My teeth are awful, and many are missing. I’ve never been able to get them sorted because I didn’t have much money but I feel as though now I’m doing much better financially so it needs to be done. As desperate as I am to have a beautiful smile, I am terrified of the amount of dental work I’m faced with because my teeth have gotten really bad and I suffer from general anxiety, which I suppose has stemmed from my lack of confidence with regards to my appearance. What options are available to me and is there support available for anxious patients? Thank you.

Can I Get NHS Help With My Dental Problems?

March 29th, 2015
Q.

Hi. I’m 25. I have always had problems with my teeth but I do keep them clean. I suffer from depression and the biggest cause is my teeth. I don’t like to talk in public and couldn’t smile at my wedding. Could the NHS help or pay for implants to give me some kind of confidence? I can’t smile, look at people or laugh. If I could smile I think it would be a massive help with the depression and may even get me off my tablets.

Will The NHS Pay For My Braces?

March 29th, 2015
Q.

Hi, I’m 14, 15 next month and I’m wanting braces. My teeth are not bad, I only have gaps between my top set of teeth (only on the first 4). I’m wanting braces but I’m not sure if the NHS will pay for them or not as it may be classed as cosmetic. If I was to pay for them I was wanting to know how much it would roughly cost, as my teeth are not too bad. Thank you!

How Can I Get A Lovely Smile Without Having False Teeth?

March 21st, 2015
Q.

Hi there, I am a 51 year old lady who suffered Crohns disease and was on long term steroids. I have been off them for 6 years now. My teeth and gums suffered and I have slight gum disease.
I have 1 crown in the front which is not in straight, and the tooth next to it is bridged onto a smaller tooth and is a different colour. I also have gaps. I would like a lovely smile again without having false teeth, any suggestions?
