    It's hard posting this but I'm 36 and my teeth are eroded very badly. The two front are like knubs.

    The dentist I'm with is very well regarded. He thinks we should go all root canals, on 6 teeth at a time I'll end up with 12+ root canals then some form of veneer bridge and a single implant and crowns.


    Would I be better off considering a 4 on 1 complete mouth of implants, do they look real if I pony out for good ones.

    Very distressed to be considering false teeth at this age. Is getting so many teeth pulled a disaster?

    Look up treatment options abroad, may be cheaper than Ireland; especially considering the amount of work needed

    Take a read of the forum, plenty of threads on dental tourism.
