What Is The Cost Of Having An Implant?
Q.
Hi, after having root canal in my eye tooth, a year later I got an infection in the guu, after numerous anti-biotics my dentist referred me to the hospital to have the tooth removed and a false one on a plate put in. I was very upset as I did not want to have a plate. On visiting the hospital they said they could try and save the tooth by splitting the gum open to rid the infection. I had this procedure last August. Unfortunately the infection is back as my gum is turning black around the tooth again, with discomfort and a nasty taste. I was wondering if you could advise me of the cost of having the tooth removed replaced by a screw in one. Regards

I presume you are referring to tooth replacement using a dental implant?
Without seeing you in person and having X-rays and maybe CT scans it’s impossible to quote you accurately.
Dental implants can vary in quality and so can the dentists placing them. You may need a bone graft.
For excellent results and for very high quality you are looking at from £3000-4000 per tooth missing but I’d advise you seek an expert opinion and examination to find out what it would be in your case. This fee would be the implant , it’s abutment and the dental restoration or crown that sits on the implant. It might also include bone grafting costs and temporisation in some clinics
Kind regards
