Extensive dental work Req Dublin N/ Central

    I'm f, 42 & need a fair bit of dental work done, and am not considering abroad as if something happens i don't want to have to jump on a plane.
    I want to replace 5 right/ side teeth, after a bad fall on ice one tooth fell straight out, Since then that side of my mouth has not been good, losing 2 more to being weak after the fall and 2 more extractions at the back. Also one front tooth will need a crown.
    I would also need approx 3-4 fillings and a good cleaning. My teeth went downhill because I don't really get on with the gms dentist I was assigned, and I neglected them out of embarrassment- i didn't want to think about them and stopped smiling. I was not in a position to get them done financially until now.
    I find wearing a denture torture, not helped by the fact I'm on pregablin and trying to wean off that atm. So I mostly don't bother with the denture unless it's something 'important' and then it ruins the day with me very conscious of it in my mouth like a plastic saucer.
    I have heard of a southside 'one stop stop' that gives one rapid teeth. Is this worth it?
    I'm on the northside and would like to hear any reccomendations anyone may have for a dentist doing implants & whatever else I may need done. I'm a little nervous but not overtly so. Ball park figure would be nice although obviously i am an individual case , I'd like to know roughly how much this will cost? I would even southside Dublin if I had to.
    Thanks for reading and any advice or opinions or similar stories welcome- I'm looking fwd to being able to smile again but not looking fwd to the process :)

    Hi there OP, sorry to hear your having problems with you teeth. It is difficult if not impossible to give you advice without knowing your specific issues and clinical situation. However I would try avoid high speed fixes for the most part. Biology tend not to care much about how much of a hurry you or the dentist is in to finish, its takes as long as it is going to take regardless. I am sure you will get some reccomendation by PM from others. Best of luck
