Question

Answer 1

about $200.00

Answer 2

Ok first off, there are several ways to replace the missing tooth.

Here's acouple ways to consider:
1) A 'Flipper' or 'Valplast' .. Both are removable appliances, to take place of a missing tooth. The materials can be of a plastic type or an acrylic material. Most patients say they are comfortable to wear, and dont notice it when its in the mouth. The cost varies of course. They're made with different materials. Cost can be anywhere for $200-400. My office charges $250, for a Flipper. And around $350, for a Valplast, its materials are of better quality. And last longer. Or you can....

2) Get an 'implant' and crown made for the missing tooth. Which is a 'fixed appliance', once its in you can not remove it. BUT.. NOT everyone can get an implant. You'll have to see a 'Periodontist' in which is a Specialist for gum tissue/bone. If you have bone loss in this area, most specialist will not recommend an implant, due to it will not hold it. But, if it can hold it... he'll let you know. And discuss the process of getting one and the expensives it takes to do this procedure. It's very costly. And will cost you into the 'thousands' of dollars. An implant is basically a screw, placed/screwed into your bone. After this stage, you'll then see a regular dentist about the crown to feel in the missing tooth.

3) You can also get a 'Partial'.. again, which is a 'removable appliance'. It's made of die-cast metal and will cost you around $800. Most Dentist dont op for this, cause its a costly process for only one tooth and its not comfortable to wear.

4) A bridge... its where we shave down the two teeth next to the missing tooth. And we crown them all. It'll be called a '3 unit bridge' (since your only missing 1 tooth). The crowns will be all splinted together, making it a single unit. It's also a 'fixed appliance'. Once we cement it in, you wont be able to remove it. Cost for these are around $1200. Basically, your getting charged for 3 individual crowns. Prices varies accordingly, different offices charge different prices. The bigger the office.. the bigger the charges.

So those are your options... ALL options are good. People do it everyday and arent disappointed with the outcomes.

One more thing... For 'Upper' teeth, the appliances are NOT noticable. People will NOT know the difference, unless you tell them. Now, for the 'lower' teeth.. only the metal partial will be noticable.

Answer 3

If you choose an implant, which would be a worthwhile consideration fro a front tooth, the implant would be from $1,500 to $2,000, but that's just for the implant. You need to have the implant restored with something or it's useless. ONE implant is typically restored with a crown, but that is a two-part deal. First you get what is called the abutment and sticks out above your gums. That can cost from $500 to $1,000 depending on whether you can use a pre-fab abutment or if it has to be custom made and what the fees are in your area. Once you have the abutment, you need a crown and that fee should be pretty much the same as a crown on a regular tooth. That would be from about $750 to $1,000 or maybe more in some areas. This means the total would range from about $2,750 to $4,000 depending on several factors. I'd say the average single tooth implant restored with a crown in New Jersey might be about $3,000.

If you use a conventional bridge, the bottom line would be in just about the same $3,000 area.

If you get a "real" partial, the fee would be around $1,000.

If you get an all-acrylic (plstic) "flipper," it would cost $500-700 or so.

Answer 4

Depends. If you want to get a bridge, probably $600. With that you would have a tooth attached to a small plastic plate that attaches to the teeth on either side of the missing tooth. They have to be replaced about every 5-6 years.

If you want an implant, it costs $3,000. They put a screw into the bone under the gum and attach a single tooth. It's usually made of porcelain and would last a lifetime, if you don't knock it out.

Answer 5

It is very expensive. The fake tooth is anchored in and a bridge is formed to hold it to the surrounding teeth. It is hard to say on price because it depends why it fell out. If your gums are bad you will need more extensive work. I would say it can be $1,200- $1,500.
My brother lost one of his front teeth with gingivitis and needed totally scalling of the gums and it cost him $5,000 for that and the new tooth and bridge.
You need to not only brush but floss everyday to keep your gums good so you don't lose your teeth. Life is not fun without teeth as my mother has no teeth and can only eat baby food. There goes the corn on the cob, meat, and anything hard. It sucks.

Answer 6

did you break it off or did you knock it out by the roots?????? if you broke it off you can have one cemente3d back on by using a post drilled into tne root. cost about twio grand. if you knocked it out by the root i'll cost you about 1500 for a partial. if you have teeth on both sides you can get a bridge for around a thousand.
you can get an implant and they run close to two grand also.

Answer 7

You will need to speak to your dentist about that. Maybe do a little calling around to other dentists also. That should give you a good figure to aim for.

Answer 8

Answer 10

about 2000 dollars for an implant and then a crown.

Answer 11

Try $1200. $200 is ludicrous.
