Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would need 2 dental implants: the upper left second premolar and the lower right first molar. The second premolar bothers me in particular, as the gap is visible when I smile.
The other teeth are in order; my next check-up is in a year and everything is fine.
The main problem is that I am terribly afraid of the implant because of possible complications. My dentist is encouraging me to do it so that the other teeth do not move.
Can you tell me what complications could occur in my particular situation, and whether there is another, less complicated method to replace at least the second premolar?
I am also interested in the price; I think that together with the crown it is somewhere around €1,300.
Thank you very much and kind regards!
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
In principle there are very few complications with implant placement. Fear of pain during or after the procedure is completely unnecessary. The procedure takes approximately half an hour. In the lower jaw, injury to the mandibular nerve may occur. In the upper jaw in the second-premolar region, the most common problem is the amount of bone and the size of the maxillary sinus. These problems can always be avoided. Ten-year survival of a dental implant is more than 90%. Price:
-EUR 750 (implant) + EUR 420 (crown on the implant) = EUR 1,170.
Have a nice day!
