Hello Dr Tomaž,
I have a problem with my upper central incisor. My dentist determined that it is periodontitis and that it is too late for treatment because the tooth is already very loose and has pulled away from the gum. The gum itself has also receded upwards. She suggested a bridge, but I am not entirely convinced because the adjacent central and lateral incisors are healthy. I would ask you to describe the procedure for placing a bridge. The tooth is extracted, then what? How long do I have to be without a tooth (if at all), because with a front tooth it is rather awkward. Do I get a temporary tooth and how long do I have to wear it? Of course, finally I would also like to know the price of a bridge or an implant.
Thank you for your answer and kind regards,
Patricia
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
After the tooth is extracted, we can relatively quickly proceed to reshaping (preparing) the abutment teeth (the adjacent central and lateral incisors). After preparation, we place a temporary restoration. One week later you receive the final restoration. Price of the bridge:
- EUR 210 (metal-ceramic) X 3 = EUR 630.
Price of the implant:
- EUR 750 (implant without bone augmentation) + EUR 420 (crown on implant) = EUR 1170.
Have a nice day!
