So when i was 11 i had an x-ray and my dentist discovered i had no fangs to replace the two milk teeth that fell out when i was 8. I have had braces on for 5 years now. I was wondering whether i am eligable to recieve dental implants free on NHS too fill the gaps where i have no fangs as i really dont want dentures, bridges or caps
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Dental implants can be given but your orthodontist can exactly tell you when, as your being treated by him. Implants can be given keeping in consideration many factors like dental age and skeletal age, your periodontal health, teeth and gums.Therefore please discuss it with orthodontist with the concerned radiographs. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
