How much will it cost for a dental implant?

Monday, April 12th, 2010
Q.
Due to a RTA I have now been told that I have to have a front tooth implant and that the Third Party is liable for the cost. I have had to have an appointment with a “Dental Expert” and he has estimated that a crown for the implant will cost approximately £500 however I have streesed that this will not cover the cost of the crown. Can you provide me with an estimate (although I know that you have very limited knowledge of my case) THanks,

Would be sensible for me to have the root extracted and have a bridge done now, then a bone graft and implant later on?

Monday, April 12th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I had an accident recently in November 2009 where I fractured the root of my upper front left tooth and have had it extracted (with the root still left in place-this was done in case I was to have an implant). I am now looking into my options for either a bridge or an implant. At this stage I am considering getting a bridge (due to both money and time restraints) but would like some advice on the implications of removing the root now for the bridge and whether this will affect me having an implant at a later stage in any way? Could you please advise me and give your opinion whether it would be sensible for me to have the root extracted and have a bridge done now then a bone graft and implant later on? Kind Regards,

Is there any treatment available to remove the stains on my teeth?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Bohara, I wish to get my teeth whitened which have become stained due to chewing of paan -parag (betel nuts + catechu). The stains are of exogenous nature and even deep scaling and polishing have failed to lighten the colour. I have given up chewing paan parag for over 3 months now. Pls could you advise what the best course of treatment will be at a reasonable cost. Are home kits any good? Thanks, Laxmikant,
