Hello, I would like to ask the following: my front tooth—number 1—is now very mobile, and the X-ray shows that the bone no longer supports the root of the tooth. I would like to know what the procedures are. When this tooth is removed, is it possible, and in what way, to place an implant—an artificial tooth? Are there any options, or are you forced to remain without a tooth?
Thank you very much for your answer. Kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam!

There are two fixed-prosthetic solutions:
1. placement of a dental implant
2. fabrication of a conventional bridge

1. A dental implant can be placed immediately after extraction of the tooth or after a delay (depending on the condition of the bone). After placement we usually wait three to four months before fitting the dental crown (in certain cases the implant can be loaded immediately). Throughout the treatment you wear a temporary replacement.
2. Fabrication of a bridge can begin immediately after extraction of the tooth. The bridge is made in approximately ten days. In this case too, you wear a temporary replacement.

Have a nice day!
