Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam. I recently completed treatment for periodontal disease at the dental clinic (flap surgery—removal of calculus and deposits). In the process I lost teeth 4, 7 and 8 in the upper jaw. Before the procedure I already had ceramic restorations on the first three teeth on both the upper left and right sides (so 6 teeth in total; my own teeth were ground down and the nerves removed, with ceramic restorations cemented on top). Now the ceramic restorations are separated at the top (I do not know whether the jaw has receded or whether they were damaged during calculus removal). I would like a permanent solution for my upper teeth and whitening of the lower teeth to match the shade of the new ones. I would like to know what solutions are possible and the approximate price of the complete treatment. Thank you, Matjaž

Dear Sir/Madam!
Theoretically, then, you are missing the first premolar in the upper jaw. We rarely replace the second and third molars, because we consider the first molar as the last tooth to be sufficient for normal function. The first premolar can be replaced with a bridge, which requires preparation of the first molar and canine. Price:
-EUR 210 (porcelain crown) X 3 = EUR 630.
A better and more logical solution is placement of a dental implant in the position of the missing first premolar, thereby avoiding collateral damage to the neighbouring teeth. Price:
-EUR 750 (implant) X 1 = EUR 750
-EUR 420 (crown on implant) X 1 = EUR 420.
I cannot answer the question about repairing the existing prosthetic work without a clinical examination.
Have a nice day!
