My son is 16 years old. On Friday he was attacked by drunken hooligans and both upper central incisors were knocked out together with the roots. I would like to know after how much time implants can be placed and how much that would cost. How much is covered by health insurance?
Kind regards
Suzana

Dear Sir/Madam!

Implants can be placed immediately after tooth removal. In the case described, the condition of the injured bone in the affected area must also be determined. If the basic anatomical conditions are satisfactory and the alveolar ridge has not been knocked out or crushed, the procedure can be carried out quickly. Timely treatment helps avoid extensive bone loss after the teeth have been knocked out, which could significantly complicate later placement of dental implants. Price of the procedure:
- EUR 750 (implant) X 2 = EUR 1,500 + EUR 420 (crown on implant) X 2 = EUR 840; total: EUR 2,340. ZZZS does not cover implantology costs (except in cases of congenital defects).

Have a nice day!
