    Hello guys

    I need major work done, will require ALOT of extractions and ALOT of new dentures, basically 80% of my mouth

    Appointment with dentist now been changed to 3 weeks as he's away - Friday 26th oct

    He comes recommended by all my family, apparently is amazing with people with dental phobia, and will allow my medical card to completely cover the dentures I need

    Should I wait for him or look around and get an appointment sooner somewhere else?

    I presume if he takes medical card for dentures, there are others who will do the same?

    Also, how long is it usually between taking the mould of my mouth and actually fitting the dentures?

    Thanks

    Your mouths been in bad condition for years, whats another 3 weeks. That dentist is basically doing charity work there the medical card pay them so little for a job like that, so thank you blessings they are willing to do it for you,

    Re the timings the person doing the job decides that.

    Hi Always Be Closing,

    I’d stick with him! You’ll be kicking your self if you rush into it with someone else and they don’t end up to be as good. Another dentist will have to apply to the HSE again for your denture and if the 1st dentist has already applied for you it will be confusing and you may not end up saving any time at all!

    Your words are completely re-assuring, thank you for them :-)

    I have waited this long, what's another 3 weeks, right? :-) I'm so so nervous though

    Would you mind sending me his details, if you can recommend him, I am on MC as well and not happy with my dentist.
