Implants cost £1,200 PER TOOTH!!
I am just getting an Ivoclar BPS upper denture (between £800 - £1000)
I have to take a photo of me when I had teeth and they will replicate what I lost, and they take more measurements to ensure perfect comfort & fit. BPS=Biofunctional Prosthetics System

PS will need 6 appointments starting 16th May

Screw-ins/implants arent suitable if you have 'bone loss', so they aren't always possible.
I have researched all possible solutions to my wearing dentures - if this 'BPS' doesnt work for me ,nothing will!!- the ultimate in dentures.
I have that awful 'gag reflex' so only wear my current partial denture when I go out, and use a mountain of glue.
I only started to loose teeth 3 years ago and they have gone down like dominoes, mainly due to one abcess after another.
Ah well -I'm TRYING to grow old gracefully

Sorry Margaret, just seen yer' post. They are the best though, but well, only for the rich I'm afraid.

For past 2 yrs I havent had any coach trips (which I loved ) and no meals out (which I also loved) so my spending money saved will go on my teeth - I hope to get gallivanting again soon

Aaah, that's sorta sad Margaret .. think maybe cosmetic dentistry should be given free as per Cosmetic surgery .. say if you have a protruding nasal area and diagnosed that it is affecting your life, which it obviously has done with you.

Let me know when the gallivanting starts .. will come and share a meal with you ...

And getting back to the plot ................. I seem to have lost my glasses! I usually have them on a thing round my neck but if I'm in the house I take them off completely. Yesterday I was working on this thing for my daughter and then went out last night but when I came to look for me specs I couldn't find them anywhere. I ended up having to put an old pair on, but that was dangerous because I'm so used to just taking them off and letting go because they are on a thing. These weren't so I had a tendency to drop them!

Now I wonder where the heck I put my other ones.
