Affordable dental implants

Annar

Hi,

I hope this in the right place, had a bit of a problem finding the exact place.  I may need some dental implants the most is three the minimum is one.  I'm doing some research into how I could do this and I'm just brainstorming for some ideas.  I've already found some dental charities like Dentaid and The Dental helpline, also I know that premuim health insurance can pay a portion of it.  AXA health insurance can pay up to £500.  Anyway those are some of the ideas I had, anyone else got an other ideas?

Dentaid really aren't in the business of funding dental implants.

Their core business is providing basic dental care in developing countries - although they do do work in this country - but generally with the homeless & those in extreme poverty, to relieve pain & suffering. Not funding cheap advanced care plans.

If the cost of implants is a problem, then you really should be looking at alternatives. Implants require just as much maintenance as real teeth - if not more. So you need to be a regular dental attender with good dental habits in the first place. Spending money on dental care shouldn't be an issue if you want implants. You need to look at their ongoing costs.

If cheap & low maintenance are you priorities, then either a denture, or just leaving a gap might be more suitable.

I actually generally have good oral hygiene I just went through a period were I got careless, sheeeshh.  It's funny you ask people for advice and there seems to be a lot of judging going on.

All I'm saying is you need to factor in aftercare. Not just the provision of them.
