• Where's Dammit?
    Ask Neil, as he had some "work" done following an accident.

    You called?

    If youhave any questions about implants in specific, I can help with these queries, I'm a dental technician and I make implants, crown and bridges for a living, you need to find a good dentist to go to to startoff with, I've been doing this job for 12 years now and I've only ever found 5 good dentists in the process, not only do you have to find a decent dentist but he has to be using a decent technician as this is the area that provides the most natural looking of teeth, but pm me if you need some secondary advice or you want a good dentist, where bouts you live?

    ^He speaks truth, and is a good man to speak to.

    My advice (following a broken jaw and two teeth broken off at the gumline):

    • Go and speak to your dentist, if they are any good then they are invaluable. Mine assessed me, then wrote to Kings (who saw me for the jaw/teeth originally and therefore had the file) and said (condensed version) my teeth before the accident were in great condition, I was a good boy and went to the dentist frequently, and that it was their view that NHS replacement of the teeth with full implants was merited in this case.
    • Kings lodged an application with Greenwich PCT (whose area I lived in) who agreed to fund the implants (£2,500 per implant)
    • I now have two titanium teeth, around 2 years after the crash

    As these are your front teeth, and it was not your fault I would say you have a high chance of securing funding for the implants.

    If you'd let them rot because you don't like toothpaste then it would be a different matter.

    PM me if you want to chat- or my number is in the number thread.

    Finally- implants are a faff, but they are the best option.
