Hi all.
I lost a top right tooth (molar beside canine) due to decay because i never had a dentist when i was growing up and no one really made an issue of teeth. I was 16.
I remember that was when i stopped smiling.
Im 28 now and the quality of my life is absolutely terrible. I held back from dental fear since 19 then this year i decided enough was enough. I got 6 teeth extracted at the end of last year and it wasnt fun. I need a root canal and a filling on the top front right canine.
I didnt go back because of the rootcanal but i made another appointment for 2 weeks time. Its likely ill cancel because the thought of someone toying around down at the bottom of my tooth completely freaks me out.
In any case, i also believe the treatment plan is "partial dentures".
This is all terrible because my problems have not been fixed. The teeth that needed removed have been removed, but its no going to do anything to address my issue. The entire point of overcoming my fear was to sort my teeth out so i could be happy again.... not regain some kind of hidden awkward functionality......
My front 4top 7 teeth really are not so bad depite the years i didnt care for them, but they stop me smiling as i have said.
The problem is that i dont want to have bright fake white keyboard teeth so even if i pursue veneers on the NHS then if i do get them, im guessing they will be terribly fake and just not solve my problem. The problem of smiling!
I woke up today suitably depressed to look up local private dentists.
Heres one local:
If i decided to go with these guys tomorrow, is there any options available to me to help pay for the initial cost of treatment? Im happy to pay a high monthly fee for the next 10 years if it means next month i can smile again.
As far as im aware, dentists dont do this type of thing, so is there any options, external options, almost like finance! And so on.
Thanks,
