can anyone tell me is it sore and expensive to have a false one put in to replace it???

Answer 1

It depends on HOW yo decide to replace the missing tooth. An acrylic flipper would be the most inexpensive and can be used as a temporary fix if you decide to go with another treatment option. The best option would be an implant, but that does take approx 6 months of healing before the actual crown can be placed. A 3-unit bridge is also an option but will mean shaving down the adjacent teeth and can cost equal to or more than a single implant. A Maryland bridge may also be an option, but a lot of dentists are steering away from Maryland bridges if there is a question of retention, periodontal (gum) disease or if the adjacent teeth are not very sound.
Talk with your dentist and get the full scope of options he has available for you. They can best service you especially if they have x-rays to view of the entire area. Good luck

Best Advice go your Dentist.
I used to have a Gap up front,from an accident loosening 3 upper Front Teeth.
I decided for Implant, which is not inexpensive ,but worse it.
But your Dentist will know best.
Good Luck

HELLO,
JUST HAVE THE DENTIST DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:

#1. A FLIPPER, CHEAPEST BUT YOU SHOULDN'T EAT WITH ONE. IT WILL FILL IN THE EMPTY SPACE.

#2. A REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURE

#3. A TRADITIONAL BRIDGE

#4. AN IMPLANT, MOST EXPENSIVE OF ALL BUT WORTH THE MONEY AND TIME TO HAVE IT.
