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:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am contacting you with a question regarding a missing tooth (upper second premolar). The tooth broke more than a year ago (I assume part of the root is still inside). Since lately I have been having problems with suppuration, I would like to have a bridge made. I would like to know what you recommend and what the price would be. Kind regards, Maja

Dear Sir/Madam!
As you have already realised yourself, the tooth should be replaced. You have two options:
-making a bridge, which requires preparing two adjacent teeth and making three crowns. The retained root would first need to be extracted. Price:
EUR 210 (metal-ceramic crown) X 3 = EUR 630 or EUR 350 (all-ceramic crown—zirconia) X 3 = EUR 1050.
-placement of a dental implant. Price: EUR 750 (implant) + EUR 420 (crown on implant) = EUR 1170. With this procedure the adjacent teeth are left untouched, which is certainly better than in the first option.
Have a nice day!
