I've very bad loose gum and recently teeth falling off 1 by 1. Now, I left with only 9 shaky teeth and affecting my diet badly. Urgently need to replace all but hear the damage is very high. Can the cost be payable via CPF?

    Sounds like you have advanced periodontal disease, affecting your gums and bone structure and suporting structure of the teeth, causing them to loosen up and fall out.

    I would not go down the line of implants if this is the case as i doubt you have alot of bone support left - without a good bone level then it would be virtually impossible to screw in the bolts that hold the implants. Would you want to pay a small fortune for a nice smile for them to just fall out and be unsucessful?

    If i were you (sorry to say this) but i would say dentures (false teeth) are probably your best bet given your situation.

    Hello...The cost of an Implant depends on what kind it is and how it will be used....Example..if it's an Implant with a Crown on top you can expect a fee of around $2500.00 per tooth....If it's a support Implant for a denture the fee for each implant will be around $1500.00.....I have to add this...If the Implant works, it's great, if it doesn't your in for a lot of pain and disappointment...Implant success nation wide is currently in the 86% range. Good luck and I wish you well. The Denture Pro.

    The fees of course vary from doctor to doctor, but you can reasonably expect to pay between $1200 and $2500 per tooth, and for complete rehabilitation, you might pay about $80K, the price of a nice luxury car. CPF probably will not pay for that since it is still considered elective procedure and not medically necessary. You could probably get regular dentures instead, which will give you just a few more diet choices.
