Dear Sir/Madam.
I am 43 years old and have three questions.
1. A year ago my lower first molar split lengthwise. On the inside the tooth had been filled three times with dental cement, which kept falling out. Finally a panoramic X-ray was taken, which showed that the tooth had been treated and that a small granuloma could be seen at the ends of the roots, so the tooth was removed. What do you recommend for the empty space and what would the treatment cost?
2. On the X-ray the dentist determined that both lower wisdom teeth should be removed, but I have no problems with them at all. Is this necessary or can they stay?
3. For quite some time my lower right central incisor has been loose. All the teeth are very crowded (lower left central incisor and both lower lateral incisors); I have the feeling that the gum around the tooth is disappearing and it has no support left, and it occasionally causes pain, so I am thinking about extraction. Is this sensible, or is it possible that the lower right lateral incisor, which is behind the central incisor, would move by itself into the gap after the central incisor is removed?
And one more thing: is it possible to register with you under the concession/public insurance scheme?
Thank you for your answer and have a nice day.

Dear Sir/Madam!
-A dental implant can be placed at the site of the missing first molar (750 EUR implant + 420 EUR crown on implant = 1170 EUR). The gap can also be closed with a conventional bridge, but this requires preparation of both neighboring teeth (210 per crown X 3 = 630 EUR).
-After examining a panoramic X-ray, I could tell you whether the wisdom teeth need to be extracted.
-Based on what you have written, I think the tooth is loose because of advanced periodontal disease. The condition needs to be treated. It is certainly possible that after the loss of the tooth, the teeth will redistribute into the gap.
It is possible to register with us under the concession/public insurance scheme.
Have a nice day!
