Visitor asks:
Hello!
I am missing the upper left first molar. I do not know whether to replace it with an implant or a dental bridge. The problem is that, as can be seen on the panoramic X-ray, the sinus is very low, so there is too little bone for an implant. The neighbouring teeth are healthy, so it seems a shame to grind them down.
I have heard that the bone can be augmented. I would like to know how much that would cost and to what extent a tooth is damaged (how this affects it in the future) if it is ground down?
Kind regards.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Bone regenerative procedures make it possible to replace bone volume in the maxillary sinus and thereby place a dental implant. Price of the procedure for this case: EUR 900 (implant and artificial bone) + EUR 420 (crown on implant). This procedure is certainly much better than the classic approach of grinding down healthy neighbouring teeth (which is an irreversible procedure with a greater possibility of complications than implantation).
Have a nice day!
