Hello,
Because of my fear of dentists, the condition in my mouth is terrible. In the upper right, the filling fell out of my first premolar and then almost the entire tooth chipped away. Only the inner side remains, plus a small amount on the visible outer side. Of the upper second molar I only have the root left. How long would it take to make an implant for the upper first premolar and what would the total cost be?
In the lower left, my first and second molars are badly damaged. Half of the first molar is missing and the other half is partly filled. The second molar is practically destroyed. What can be done?
Which costs could be covered by health insurance? Does the amount depend on the number of teeth and the age of the insured person?
What is the current waiting time and what are the payment terms?
Thank you for your answer!

Dear Sir/Madam!

Before looking for a solution using implants, I would point out that, judging from your description of the fracture, the first premolar may still be salvageable with root canal treatment and fabrication of a root post and crown. The price of the procedure in this case is 240 Eur. If you are certain that the prognosis for treating the tooth is poor and have decided on its extraction, an implant is of course an excellent solution. The surgical procedure takes one hour, and the sutures are removed after ten days. Osseointegration (integration of the implant with the bone) takes half a year, after which the implant can be loaded with a dental crown. The price of the procedure is 1320 Eur (including the prosthetic restoration). ZZZS does not cover the costs of implantology.
The decision regarding treatment or extraction of the lower teeth would be made after reviewing an X-ray.

Have a nice day.
