Extensive dental repair

I have a friend to a very long time ago had an accident which resulted in them losing most of their teeth. They did try to have a repair but their jaw they was crumbling and not strong enough for for a positive outcome.

They are now hesitant but ready to look at having it all sorted out and I wondered has anybody got any experience or advice.

Basically they would need most if not all of their teeth replacing as there literally is only a few in there.

I'm not sure what can be done with the existing jawbone to make it strong enough for a repair of this nature.

Are they better doing this in England (likely to be their preference due to getting time away,) or going abroad and what is the procedure and where to start?

I realise it is unlikely to be something that can be performed on the NHS, and is likely to cost a lot of money.

Thank you so much.

I think dentists abroad are far cheaper. My Godmother went yo Budapest.

I imagine it is cheaper abroad but my personal opinion would be that if they can afford to do it in the UK then to do so. Travelling after surgery is not the best idea and it usually means aftercare is less than ideal as follow up appointments aren't very easy and things can get messy if there's any complications. I have witnessed this mostly with plastic surgery.

With the the amount of work necessary I do think it would take multiple trips abroad and I just don't think they would be prepared to do that, I think it would be too hard for them to get time off work to travel, as so much would be needed, so it is likely that a UK local option is the path

I’d also recommend to do it in the UK, especially if they need revision and constant check up for the extensive work. If it was something minor, I’d have said maybe look abroad, but it’s best to be home for recovery.

Also, if they needed to see a dentist over here, because of complications or whatever not, they’d need to pay for another dentist!

Have they looked into finance? As some companies offer that for medical reasons and they can pay over the course of 5-6 years at a manageable cost

I think teeth are incredibly important, so I can see why your friend wants to get them sorted

Also losing teeth is literally one of my worst nightmares

I have dreamt of smashing my front teeth and losing them and I always wake up traumatised

Hope your friend will find a way to get theirs fixed

?

Have they looked into the possibility of a dental teaching hospital? I believe you need a referral from a normal dentist, but it would significantly reduce the cost if accepted.

Thank you for the comments, at this point I actually don't think they are too concerned about the cost, (so long as it is fair and appropriate for the work that is done), and they don't even know what that might be yet.

They will get finance or raise the money, it is more finding the right person to do the job and where to start I guess.

Just around the corner

Sounds like a job for a specialist to me. I’m thinking dental hospital not ‘cosmetic’. They need to get a referral from their normal dentist or maybe even their GP.

I think they should ask their dentist for a referral to a maxilofacial (I think that's how you spell it) specialist.

Zygomatic implants are implants that are anchored by the cheekbone, rather than the jaw bone. To support an implant, you need strong bone tissue.

Thank you so much for posting about this, I have just been looking into them, and there is another treatment for the bottom teeth called trefoil. These look really interesting.

I was in a car crash 6 years ago where I lost three teeth, I was referred to a specialist in Colchester to have implants done, luckily paid for by the other drivers insurance. I found out during the treatment he was the dentist who trained others how to do it. I'm very happy with the outcome and you really can't tell the difference!
