Is the cost of implants I have been estimated correct, and what can be done for front teeth that have moved due to missing tooth?
Q. Hello Dr. Tennet, I would like to ask 2 questions please if you don’t mind. Question 1. I have quite a few problems with my teeth at the moment, probably due to neglect and not visiting the dentist enough, but I have 3 teeth missing on the right hand side of my mouth at the top, and I have been to see a cosmetic dentist who does seem to have a good reputation, although I have not been to him before. I have had a quote for 2 teeth to be replaced with implants. The quote is £1400 for each implant, and £1000 for each implant retained crown. A total of £4800 for 2 teeth. I would just like your opinion on the price please. I live in the Grimsby area of Lincolnshire. Question 2. All my teeth are fairly good at the front, except that years ago I had a tooth removed from the top left, and because of this my top teeth have all moved to the left and I now have one of my two front teeth right in the middle. In other words my two front teeth are not in the middle any more. Could you please advise me what is the best treatment to correct this, or as near as possible. Thank you Dr. Tennet. Yours sincerely.,
A. Hello , Q1 The costs are within an expected price range for dental implants Q2 Orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances or clear positioners such as Clearstep or Invisalign are the only ways to correct a midline shift unless the you undertake radical treatments like extraction and replacement with bridges or Implants. However most people do not register the shift and veneers from a top ceramist will often provide an aesthetic smile so most authorities recommend simulating the veneers before undertaking the orthodontics. Regards Rob. If you would like a free consultation to discuss this further call 0121 643 0610. If you interested in a 2 visit full assesment with simulation it costs £300
