What are the options to fill teeth gap and how much do they cost?
Q. Hi Justin I have just had emergency nhs dental treatment after breaking my insisor tooth which had to be extracted. The site was immediately alongside a previous extraction of an insisor near to the front right side of my mouth. I now have a sizeable gap which is seriously affecting my confidence as I now feel unable to smile properly and am having considerable trouble speaking properly as my tongue is protruding through the gap when i speak causing to lisp. I am on the nhs waiting list but don’t feel that i can wait forever to get this problem sorted. Please can you tell what my options are and approximate costs of getting the gap closed at a private dentist. I live in Pembrokeshire but would be prepared to travel if necessary. Thank you very much
A. Hi
The cost of an implant would be in th area of £2500 per tooth.

You could wear a denture to fill the gap in the meantime which would be aviable to you on the NHS. I am unsure whether you are on a list for a NHS dentist in your area or whether you are waiting for the hospital.
A denture is available form a private dentist from £250.
Hope that helps.
Kind regards
