I am gonna get straight to the point, my mouth is a mess, a lot of my back teeth are missing and now the front are starting to go, not through any medical condition but just pure neglect..i remember my father always telling me 'look after your teeth, brush them twice daily at least and after meals if you can..did i listen..umm no...duhh.
Now i'm in my late 40's and i'm suffering with pain, confidence and self esteem, eating things is a challenge and i work in a customer facing job which makes me lack confidence and feel depressed.
To add to this i am petrified of all things dental, the times i have been I've literally been hyperventilating in the waiting room, one time being physically sick..I've been through major foot surgery and found this experience easier than the dentist, I've been asked to leave by three dentists, one particular dentist started the IV sedation procedure and then seconds later started to work on me before the midazolam had taken effect which made me freak out, he started shouting at me and told me to leave..i stumbled off the chair as he watched whilst his assistant was pushing me out the surgery door with my wife, i felt like reporting him but never did.
Now my front teeth are getting that bad that i have decided that i have to go see a dentist, which brings me to my reason for posting, i have been researching Implants 'all on 4 & all on 6' there is so much info out there which is confusing, different types of bridges like Petteau or Hybrid, then there is Zygomatic implants which i believe are good for people with major bone loss, which i'm sure i will fit into that bracket ..then there is choosing a dentist, i know most have implant experience these days but you here so much about some dentists having much more knowledge and experience.
I was checking out a website called new life teeth and the costs are really frightening, for example : All on 4 (or 6) Zygomatic implant bridge using a Petteau bridge costs £20,000...can someone tell me is that about right or over priced??
Sorry to ramble on and on with my first post, but i'm getting pretty desperate, like i said it's affecting my self esteem, work and my marriage..i need to do something
