Hello!
I have the following problem: on the lower left I am missing the second premolar and first molar, while on the lower right I am missing only the first molar. Would it be possible to make bridges instead of implants? I am a student and the price of implants is currently too high for my budget... Are such bridges at least partially covered by insurance? What would the price be?
I have one more question: a little less than a month ago my dentist removed the nerve from a lateral incisor because of inflammation. He placed temporary medication. After three weeks, when I was supposed to have the medication removed, I became ill, so the appointment was postponed by two weeks. I now notice that the tooth has turned bluish... What can you advise me in this case?
Thank you very much for your sincere answers and for helping us when we need it!

Dear Sir/Madam!

Based on what you have written, I believe you need two bridges. On the left side, the first premolar and second molar would be used as abutment teeth, while on the right side the second premolar and second molar would be used. In total, seven teeth would therefore need to be made. The price depends on the material used by the technician:
- EUR 210 (metal-ceramic crown or pontic) X 7 = EUR 1,470 or
- EUR 350 (all-ceramic crown on Zircon) X 7 = EUR 2,450.
If you want the insurance company to partially cover the service, you must contact your personal dentist, who, after the waiting period for prosthetic services has elapsed, could charge this to the insurance company. In your case, you fully pay for the missing pontics yourself if the proposal is approved. For comparison, I am also giving you the price of treatment with dental implants, as this is much more suitable for the status described and for your age, since the abutment teeth do not need to be ground down and irreversibly damaged:
- EUR 750 (implant) X 2 + EUR 420 (crown on implant) X 2 = EUR 2,340.

Have a nice day!
