Q. Dear Dr Moore Thanks for the opportunity. I have had initial consultation and have some questions but first, background – I am 58 and had my 2 front teeth removed after an accident at 12 yrs old. I have a metal plate.I need a bone graft. I am a non-smoker and healthy. I am concerned at the risk of failure either in bone grafting or in eventual appearance. I am not unhappy with my plate but am told I will feel so much better with implants.Cost £6k incl CT Scan. I know it\’s my decision but would welcome your views. Thank you. ,
A. It would certainly be an improvement to have fixed teeth instead of a plate and implants even in grafted bone have a very high success rate. However only you (and your dentist) can make the decision on whether you want to invest in the implant treatment
