Visitor asks:

Hello! Last year I had an accident and knocked out the upper right lateral incisor. I was not in school, I was not insured, I did not smile much and almost nobody noticed until I told them... until recently, because caries or whatever has now spread to the neighbouring central incisor. A small hole formed behind the tooth and is now getting bigger. I have never had particularly nice teeth (it runs in the family) and I have a terrible fear of dentists, so I would like to try private treatment. I am also missing teeth in the back. I am 21 years old and this greatly affects my life. Please reply by email with possible solutions/prices. Thank you very much and kind regards!

Dear Sir/Madam!

The information provided allows me to describe a solution for the missing lateral incisor; I do not know the arrangement of the other gaps. The lateral incisor can be replaced in different ways:
-bridge: in this case the neighbouring teeth must be ground down, so we make three crowns (two abutment teeth and the missing tooth). Price: EUR 210 (metal-ceramic) X 3 = EUR 630.
-implant placement: this is the most appropriate solution because the neighbouring teeth do not need to be ground down. The implant is screwed into the bone at the site of the missing root of the lateral incisor, and an artificial dental crown is mounted on it. Price: EUR 750 (implant) + EUR 420 (crown on implant) = EUR 1170.
Other quotations and solutions can be provided at the first examination, when we also take a panoramic X-ray.

Have a nice day!
