I have very bad teeth and it is now starting to effect my mental state in a very bad way. I would love to have all my teeth removed and implants fitted. I dont want dentures as Im only 27. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? Also Im on a low income so can this be done on the NHS on the grounds that its making me suicidal.

i am in same boat as you,but i doubt you be able to have implants on NHS,
the best you could do,if you live in london is go to eastmans dental hospital go online,they do one implant for teaching purposes but doubt they would do any more
or ask to be reffered to whitechapel dental hospital,,im goign there on tuesday,and im praying they will do something as my nerves are so bad now with my teeth
how bad are your teeth do they feel comfortable eating with?
if its just the look of your teeth,you can get them sorted with crowns or veneers
implants are only done if you dont smoke,you have good bone struture and you have good gums
also theyre not as easy to get on with as people think,and also they dont always agree with the person and wont take so have to be taken out
i have been going through for 2 years now mobile teeth and its getting worse
my only hope is the hospital can some how strenghen my teeth or i dont know what else they can do
but i dont want to have dentures at bottom ,which i think i will have to have no option
i have felt suicidal many times ,and dont know what or where to turn to next ,but ive had no luck being helped
well good luck i hope you have better luck than me ,and let me know if you get the hel;p you need as i myself need a lot of luck and help im desperate

Be careful. And you are not likely a good candidate for implants. Have a dentist treat the source of your pain, which is likely to be a combination of things that have resulted from neglect.
