Dental Implants Following Accident - Available On NHS ?

[V8RX7]

My 17 yr old son, whilst cycling along the road, managed to go over the handle bars and knock 3 front teeth out yesterday.

My wife took him to the Dentist today and he's suggesting that he can only have dentures.

Google suggests that Dental implants are available - is it just a case of pressuring the Dentist ?

I mean pressuring the dentist / NHS to refer him.

Google shows that it is available in the UK - I've even seen it on TV - the NHS dentist was correcting cheap implants carried out abroad.

He won't be having dentures I can't believe they think that's acceptable for front teeth of a young person.

I wouldn't mind so mush if he was carrying out stupid stunts but he's a computer nerd and was just cycling home.

Thanks - it is his two upper front teeth and one to the side - you'd wonder how he managed it.

We recently paid for my wife to get two implants, with hassle and complications the bill ended up around £10k which IMO is ridiculous.
