Hey guys, can you tell me how much this cost for two fronts teeth and how much time this treatment takes. Please suggest.
Thank You.

Difficult to say properly as you may not be suitable for implants (medical history, smoking , bone quality), or you may need extra proceedures to produce a good result (bone graft, augmentation).

For a "straight forward" implant for two top front teeth in a midrange practice you are looking at £4,500 to £5000 roughly.

Again depending on you needing no other treatment you are looking at 3 to 6 months treatment.

Then depending on your age, etc you will probably need replacement of parts possibly 10 to 20 years time plus regular hygiene and follow up appointments.

please tell, in which country?

In the UK. However bone grafts, sinus lifts etc will add to the price .

Has anyone any knowledge of upper denture on Implants please? I have read about All on 4 which have to be checked out by your dentist every so often but you cannot remove them yourself. I am thinking of looking at this. As I would prefer not to remove teeth at night, especially when I am away from home on holiday. My dentist says that even if I have dentures on Implants I will have to remove them. I am puzzled about the these two different methods and why some won't do it. My hairdresser had his done, in Spain, a few years ago. They are fine and he just looks after them like his own teeth.

You and your hairdresser have different mouths, with different bites and different amounts of bone. Did he have the 'all on 4' proceedure?

It is a relatively new technique - and so it does not have long term data to back up how successful it is. It might be fantastic after 10 years, it might all fall to bits. No one knows for sure yet.

So - dentists convinced by the technique will be offering it, those more conservatively minded would want to see the figures before recommending it to their patients.

Success of implants does very much depend on how clean they are kept though - so removing an implant retained denture to give everything a good clean underneath does sound emminently sensible. Whereas individual teeth implants can be kept clean by good cleaning in a more conventional way.

Implants can be lost just as easily or more easily than teeth. To keep them long term meticulous cleaning is vital.

The very best results for long term implant retention has been where they have been used to support full dentures. ie you take the dentures out to clean .

Where implants are used to support fixed bridges ie teeth you cannot take out , cleaning is very difficult and when things go wrong and need replacing it can be catastrophic . This is the system very often used for dental tourists who have work done abroad , as initially they are delighted. Months or years later when the implants or superstructure fails it is not the original dentist who has to pick up the pieces.

It is very difficult to replace or maintain totally fixed in teeth top and bottom and cleaning is very very difficult, which is why many (most) implantologists will not do it as the long term consequences can mean people loose what little bone they have, have no choice but to go back to normal dentures and these are even more difficult to wear because of bone loss..

I personally have seen several cases where people have had all in 4 abroad and didn't realise they had rampant infections and problems until they came for a check up.
