My son will need to have the roots of both upper central incisors removed after the teeth were knocked out. Since he is not yet 18 years old (he will be 17 in December), he cannot receive implants. I would like to know what the procedure is for making a non-invasive bridge (Maryland bridge or an inlay-bonded bridge). How much would such a bridge for both central incisors cost, how long can he use it, is it removable, and is it covered by basic health insurance? If not, is it covered by accident insurance?
Thank you and kind regards
Suzana

Dear Sir/Madam!

I personally do not believe that your son is an unsuitable candidate for treatment with dental implants. I believe this would actually be the most appropriate solution because it is the only one that is non-invasive to the neighboring teeth. The service is not covered by ZZZS; however, if the injured person had accident insurance, the injury must be reported to an agent of the relevant insurance company, who will provide appropriate instructions on how to obtain the funds to which you are entitled following the injury. In making an adhesive bridge, intervention in hard dental tissues is usually required, although it is certainly not as extensive as when making a classical bridge. The bridge is aesthetically favorable but functionally poor, because it can become detached. We ourselves prefer not to make adhesive bridges.

Have a nice day!
