Im on my second bridges and not happy can i go for implants?

Q. Hi doctor, I lost one of my top front teeth 15 years ago and at the moment i’m on my second bridge. i’m never been happy with the bridges but is it too late now to have an implant? Has the gum receaded too much now? Thanks

A. The gum will shrink back over time, but the only way to tell is an assessment and an x-ray or a CT scan of the jaws.

We routinely support bridges on implants and teeth but use a fixed moveable design that allows for thedifferent loading

Can you please give me an estimated price for 2 front lower jaw implants (2implants for bridging plus bridge to cover 3 teeth in total. Can you alsoprovide a price for one implant for lower back tooth ,assuming that there is enough bone and no other treatment needed to put implants into bone.
