Has any body ever had implants or veneers fitted?

[ed-bradley]

Nope, but I'm due to be having some in November. Implant teeth, and 2 veneers.

[cyne]

Got my implants about a year ago, double e and loving life.

Edit - Actually come to think of it yes I do, got a brick chucked at my head when I was about 8, destroyed most of one of my front teeth. Literally don't know its there till people mention it or I am talking about (like now). But yeah most people don't believe me till I show them the back and people even then just say you just have a metal plate on the back of your tooth lol.

No idea what they use to put it on, was a green sorta paste substance from what I can remember but it hasn't budged.

My two front teeth got mashd when i was school, have four titanium pins securing the caps in place now.

Not got any but have done plenty and can tell you veneers can be a real hassle, if you've got the need/funds I'd go with either a post crown or implant although the implant is more likely to stay put for a lot longer and also reduces bone loss but they do come with a nice price tag.

How much are they? Can you get them done by NHS dentists or do they not have the correct materials and services?

+1, very expensive.

piece of string etc. The NHS will pay for the lower range, up to you if you want gold + high grade ceramics.

Dunno about implants, but Ive got a cap on my front tooth as one of the corners got smashed off, had it a couple years now and you cant tell the difference unless its really close up. :y:

[craig180]

I have a tooth missing and want an implant but fook paying 2k for one! I need to be on the dole and kill my teeth by eating loads if sweets and not brush my teeth then I'll get it free.

[Moke]

I will, one day, have a full set of perfect teeth.

Donations via PayPal please.

[Tommo87]

Implants aren't available on the NHS and can cost anywhere between £1700 and £2500.

On the nhs you can get crowns,veneers, dentures at the cost of £204 which would include exam,any filling and the lab work.

Actually I think this is what I have as it covers whats left of my old tooth.

[Tommo87]

May I ask why you want implants/veneers in the first place?

[Saxologist]

He wants the 'Jaws' from James Bond look

[yeahbuddy]

Just my teeth annoy me the front 6 just have been abused when i was a kid not brushing and drinking fizzy drinks through them, they dont look bad but i tend not to smile because of them.

[Moke]

+1 mate.

People tell me my teeth are nice, I tend to disagree. Majorly.

[Tommo87]

Perhaps see what other cosmetic treatments are available as crowns/veneers/implants are rather extreme options imo. All three require the removal of healthy tooth and replacing it with something weaker and more problematic.

I'm going to ask a dentist when i can get an NHS one, anybody know how to get one or is it just luck of the draw as and when there taking on patients?

As for whitening I'd not recommend it it you smoke, drink juice or red wine, have sensitive teeth.
