What tooth replacement options are there other than dentures?
Q. I am a 48 year old female with loose front teeth caused by receding gums and being hit in the mouth due to horse riding accidents. I am very self conscious of my smile. Please could you tell me if I have any options other than Dentures and what sort of cost would be involved. I am desperate to have something done and soon because I am terrified they might fall out when on a date. Thank you very much.,
A. Your other options are a bridge or implants. A bridge would normally entail drilling down adjacent teeth where an implant is independent from the adjacent teeth and stimulates the bone. It sounds like you would need a thorough examination and scan to decide whether you have enough bone for implants, if not you may need some bone rebuilding prior to the procedure. Regards Andrew
I would appreciate knowing the cost of one implant on my front tooth.
Thank you.
