PS Dr Hu, I placed £37k's worth of implant work (lab cost) one month last year on the NHS.....

PM me if this rings any bells

Hmmmm - I looked around at the time and everywhere said that a missing tooth would not be replaced by the NHS.

I had a milk tooth that didn't have a adult tooth below it (5th tooth back from top front) - my dentist (who is great BTW) had nurtured it for 40+ years, but it finally gave way & broke in half - half came out anyhow, the other half had to be removed.

That left me with a gap in my 'smile line' which I wanted fixing.

My dentist said its either a bridging crown that damaged the two teeth next to it and will fail again in the future, or an implant with hopefully will be a fit & forget.

Anyhow I'm -pleased with the results - its the strongest tooth i've got now! lol

 

NHS dentists appear to be few and far between.
Private plans are not really all that expensive, costs me about £170 per year.
I go to the dentist twice per year minimum, and the hygienist 3 times per year.

 

Still fixated mate?
Unlike your teeth

 

Really

 

Why the LOL about that, and did you read about and understand the treatment that I said I had in my post?

Can't do that. I was brought up when sugar and sweets were on ration!

Since PSL obviously knows bugger all about helicoiling, don't you think he would find this clip more useful?

 

I'm not sure what you are on about?

A Dental Implant in the hands of a Dentist is the same as a Helicoil Insert in the hands of an Engineering Craftsman ...... only difference is that the Craftsman earns £40k a year and a dentist earns £140k minimum.

 

Well I would suggest you watch the clip then.

 

WTF - swarf ingress everywhere

Sorry for the hijack but seeing things like that really grip my sh#t.

Mick

 

yes, so would I

 

It's about time the masses stood up and were counted, we need to stop this rip-off!!
