Implantology (dental implant placement)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Hello! When I was younger (8 years old), I injured both upper central incisors. Both teeth were already permanent and I knocked them into the jaw, damaging the roots. The teeth were then pulled back out and treated, but unsuccessfully. I was told that at age 18 the teeth would be extracted and replaced with implants. However, the remaining roots were still in acceptable condition, so I kept the teeth, but the roots are slowly resorbing. I am currently 19 (almost 20). I would like to know whether I would have to pay for the implants entirely myself or whether the insurance company would reimburse part of the cost. I would also like to know how the procedure works, or how long it takes after removal of my teeth until I receive the implants.

Dear Sir/Madam!
In the case described, the implants would probably need to be placed with a time delay after extraction (approximately 2 months). After implant placement, immediate fitting of crowns is possible, but certain conditions must be met (good primary stability of the implant...). Otherwise, or in the case of extensive bone augmentation, it is necessary to wait an additional four months before fitting crowns on the implants. Price of the procedure:
-EUR 750 (implant) X 2 = EUR 1500
-EUR 420 (crown on implant) X 2 = EUR 840
Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question regarding reimbursement by the insurance company.
Have a nice day!
