Implantology (dental implant placement)

Visitor asks:
Hello,
I would like to know whether ZZZS covers the cost of an implant in the upper jaw, tooth no. 3 on the right side. When I was young this primary tooth fell out, and there was then a gap because the permanent tooth did not erupt. This permanent tooth was surgically removed when I was 16 because it did not come "out". Before that, they removed part of the jaw tissue to reach the tooth and, with the help of braces, tried to pull it out with an elastic band (I cannot explain the procedure precisely or professionally). Because this method was unsuccessful, they removed it and I now have a gap between the teeth, which is of course especially noticeable when I smile. If it is covered, what exactly is covered; if it is not covered, what would the price be?
I would also like my two front teeth (central incisors) to be slightly ground so that both teeth would have the same level. Price?
Professional tooth whitening - price?
Thank you very much for your answer.

Dear Sir/Madam!
The insurance company does not cover replacement of a single tooth with a dental implant. Instead, it covers the cost of making a bridge by your chosen dentist. The price of replacing the tooth you are asking about is 1170 Eur:
-750 Eur (implant)
-420 Eur (crown on implant).
Tooth whitening is theoretically a chemical injury to the surface of the tooth enamel (demineralisation), and from a professional point of view I advise against it.
Have a nice day!
