Replacing teeth
Extractions when a tooth cannot be saved, and the ways to fill the gap afterwards.
Ways to fill a gap
Not every gap needs filling. Your dentist talks you through what the gap does to the teeth beside it, and the options.
Partial denture
A removable plate with one or more teeth. Two or three visits.
Bridge
A false tooth fixed to crowns on the teeth either side. Two visits.
Implant
A titanium post placed in the jaw, with a crown on top after three to six months of healing.
Partial denture, acrylic
from $650
Bridge, three units
from $2,400
Implant with crown
from $3,600
Example prices.
After an extraction
- Bite on the gauze for 30 minutes
- No rinsing, smoking or hot drinks for 24 hours
- Eat soft food on the other side for a day or two
