I have lost my front tooth is dental implant the right option
Q. Hi Rob I want a permanent solution to my smile. I had an overbite when I was a kid and to correct this I had porcelain crowns in my upper jaw. Since then I have lost my front two teeth which has now been replaced by a platics denture, which is annoying and affecting my eating. After lots of research I think my answer is a dental implant. I do smoke and also have HIV (but my health is good) Could you please advise what options would be avaiable to me. I would like to try and keep costs down and wondered what would be avaiable at what price. Kindest Regards
A. The biggest question is whether you have a good volume of residual bone where you lost the teeth. Dental implants need to anchored in healthy bone. If you have lost a lot of bone you will need an additional bone graft procedure. Most implantologists would want you to quit smoking before starting treatment.Cost of a single tooth crown and implant £2500- 3000 including minor bone shaping but major bone grafts would be in addition and costed for the specific case.Regards Rob0121 643 0610 for further information.
