First of all, hello!
I would like to make an appointment for an examination and treatment. Before that, I would like to ask the following:
I am missing a lower central incisor, and because my teeth are crowded, in about six months everything shifted together so much that now there is only a small gap between the teeth. I would like to have a bridge made because the other teeth are also very crooked (supposedly because of improper breathing, they all lean strongly inward).
- How could this be done in my case, since where there should be room for four teeth there is now room for only three, and all the rest of the space is occupied?
- My gums are receding in the lower jaw; how many treatments would I need before the procedure, for example if we decided on a bridge?
- I would also like to know the difference between a metal-ceramic and an all-ceramic bridge.
- As an alternative I am interested in fixed orthodontic braces: how long would they need to be worn and what is the price?
- I would also ask for the price of crowns and whether everything could be paid in installments. My upper lateral incisors also lean strongly inward.
I apologize for the many questions and send kind regards!
Mateja

Dear Sir/Madam!

A bridge can also be made in your case. We redistribute the lack of space across the width of three crowns, which are ultimately somewhat narrower, something that is usually not noticeable. In an extreme case, instead of three we can make two somewhat wider crowns. Which option is chosen can only be determined after analysis of study and working models; in any event, the result must be aesthetically satisfactory.
If your gums are receding because of chronic mechanical trauma (brushing), no additional therapy is necessary before the procedure. If the recession is due to chronic inflammatory disease (periodontal disease), the condition must of course be treated before the procedure and maintained in that state.
The difference between a metal-ceramic and an all-ceramic bridge is ultimately only aesthetic. All-ceramic crowns transmit light and therefore almost perfectly imitate the optical properties of natural dental tissues. In durability, fracture strength, function... there is almost no difference between the types of crowns. Top-level aesthetics require an all-ceramic crown.
Prices of crowns:
- EUR 210 (metal-ceramic)
- EUR 350 (all-ceramic).
Payment in installments is possible.

Have a nice day!
