I Have An Infection In My Gum And Need My Tooth Removed. What Would The General Cost Be?
Q.
Hello Dr Shaffie. I have just lost an upper post crown which I have had for around 15 years or so, the tooth had been loose, and I couldn’t get an appointment with my dentist for a whole week, I have since had an infection in the gum resulting in the need for antibiotics. I have been told by my dentist that the remaining tooth {I think it’s the root} needs to be removed. What would the general cost be to have a tooth fitted on a plate? I am at the minute undecided whether or not to just leave the gap. Thank you, your answer would really help me out as I’m unsure what to do.

Hello and thank you for your question. You can have it sorted it out under the NHS for around £219. Check around on the internet, for a specialist in this area for the best results. It’s best to close the gap from an orthodontic standpoint as this can affect the bite. I hope this helps you decide which course of action to take. Kind regards, Dr Hussein Shaffie.
