Dear Sir/Madam!
On the lower right I have a bridge from the second premolar to the second molar, which has already been operated on twice (apicoectomy of tooth 45), and a granuloma has appeared again. I would now like to know how this could be treated. Is it possible to place an implant instead of the second premolar and make a bridge to the second molar? Does the first molar also have to be replaced? On the lower left I am also missing a tooth (first molar) and would like to have an implant. What are the possible complications? I would also like to know the price and how long it would take to complete the treatment. I also had inflammation of the right ear; could this be related to the tooth? Thank you and kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam!

An implant can be placed in place of the second premolar; either immediately after extraction or approximately two months after removal of the tooth, depending on the condition of the bone at the site of the procedure. After implant placement, we wait two to three months before continuing the procedure. During this time the implant integrates with the bone. For placement of the artificial dental crown on the implant, we need two visits one week apart. The bridge on the lower left can therefore be supported by the implant and the second molar (it is not necessary to place two implants). Price of the procedure:
- EUR 750 (implant without bone augmentation)
- EUR 420 (crown on implant)
- EUR 219 (pontic or crown on tooth) X 2 = EUR 420
Total: EUR 1,590.

Have a nice day!
