Bad teeth

    Hi guys long time lurker not many posts!
    My teeth are in very bad shape due to bad dental hygiene growing up and continued due to laziness on my own behalf which I regret big time. I don't have any pain but my teeth look terrible and I have lost a good few which as a 29 year old guy is not good. I know I need a lot of work done but was wondering are implants my only options? Are dentures ok? I don't have a lot of money to spend but if I could get work done say monthly I can afford a few hundred Euro a month to be spent as I really need to sort this out as it's getting me very depressed. Any advise would really help me

    first port of call should be a dentist to get an assessment on what's needed.

    What's your location?

    As he says. Might not be as bad as you think and if it is, at least you know the road ahead. A few hundred euro a month, however distasteful to spend, might go a long way.

    My advice would be, get assessed by a good Dentist. Get a treatment plan, your Dentist will do this up for you.

    Then try not to get overwhelmed by the amount of work. If you spread it out over time, maybe get one tooth seen to every few months. It'll be slow and drawn out but you'll be heading in the right direction.

    I know you say you have money to spend, but I'd advise spreading it out as there can be some pain involved and the work is not always straight forward, even with the best Dentist you can need revision work.
