What options are there to fill tooth gap?

Q. I’ve had an extraction next to my wisdom tooth, what options are there available to fill the gap. also could you give me some indication of cost and time and visits needed for the procedure. thanks,
A. Hi The options available to fill the gap would be a denture, a bridge or an implant. The process to make a denture would take a series of weekly/fortnightly appointments, in order to ensure the best fit and aesthetics for the final result. The cost for a denture would start from around £250. In respect of a bridge, this would involve a preperation appointment, where either one or both of teeth either side of the gap would be prepared for crowns. An impression would then be taken and sent to the laboratory for a bridge to be made. This would consist of either one or two crowns with a false tooth attached which would fill the gap. The cost for a bridge would start from around £200 per unit. The final option would be an implant, which involves a titanium implant be placed into your jaw, and once this has integrated a crown would be made which would attach to the implant to fill the gap. The cost for an implant would start at around £1500. I hope that this will help. Kind Regards. Dr Kailesh Solanki
