Dental prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
I have a fixed bridge in the upper jaw supported by 4 teeth. Now everything is loose, and one tooth has cracked and already broken off. Questions:
- despite the mobility, can the old bridge be removed and a new one cemented,
- can the broken tooth be filled with cement so that it holds,
- if these four teeth were extracted, is it possible to place implants into the same sockets, and does this shorten healing,
- approximate cost in these cases.
Thank you for your answer!
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
As I understand it, you have four abutment teeth in the upper jaw supporting a full bridge. If the bridge has merely become debonded, it can be cemented back in place. If only one of the abutments is irreparably damaged, the bridge is lost. Without an examination and an X-ray I cannot tell you whether the tooth is damaged to the point that it must be lost. Four implants can be placed in the jaw immediately after the teeth are removed. Price of the treatment:
-EUR 750 (implant) X 4 = EUR 3000,
-EUR 420 (crown on implant) X 4 = EUR 1680,
-EUR 210 (pontic) x 8 = EUR 1680.
Have a nice day!
