Hi
i've just joined the message boards - glad I could find somewhere to get some advice - after being told four years ago that need all my teeth Ihave decided to do something about it - I have been searching the internet about implants for years as at 46 I just do not feel ready for dentures - I am due to be paid out on a compensation claim for a car accident so thought I would invest in implants - searched and searched the internet and went to a dental clinic in windsor - massive peridontal disease - lots of work to do and would take around 2 years to get my mouth in good shape - cost for just the top jaw which is in bad shape is 32 thousand pounds - I am finding it hard to find if that is good or not - if I keep going for second opinions it is costing me a fortune - and I am very dental phobic - so they agreed to give me valium to spend an hour in the hygenists chair and begin - where do you find out whether this dentist is good or not - this will be more money than I've ever had and I am prepared to give it all to the dentist so I would feel well again and no more pain - but how do you check if they are any good - I can't find anything on the web except their website
any ideas

Hi Patsy,
Can't really give you any advice but 32,000 sounds an awful lot of money just for one jaw. I don't think there is any way of checking for dentists here, apart from word of mouth. Where about are you?

Hi Rosie
I'm in Hampshire - I don't even know where to begin to find out if they are any good - because I need 6 old abscess holes in my gums deep cleaned, teeth out, bone grafting, implants, plastic surgery on gums etc etc - I think thats why it costs so much - they did say it will take between 2-3 years before it is all sorted
it's just trying to find out if they are any good - everyone seems to do implants - I tried to go for a second opinoin but they couldn't fit me in till august!!
thanks
