Visitor asks:
Hello.. two years ago I had a tooth extracted, the upper right first premolar.. I still have the second premolar.. I would like to know what could be done so that I could have something placed there and there would no longer be a gap? I no longer dare to smile, I am very afraid of the dentist... three years ago I had three ruptured aneurysms and an aneurysm tumor and I do not want any more pain.. could just some kind of implant be placed or something simply fitted on?? Thank you for the answer... kind regards, Adela
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The missing first premolar can be permanently replaced in two ways.:
-making a bridge, which requires preparation of two neighboring abutment teeth, onto which three new crowns are cemented.
-placement of an implant, whereby the neighboring teeth are left intact. The implant supports the missing dental crown and represents a completely independent chewing unit. In this particular case, this is certainly the better solution.
Have a nice day!
