I was reading and laughing but still don't know why.maybe because the price of those. gizmos up there will be almost unaffordable for common peeps who are largely affected or because it may fall-off your buccal cavity when you want to let out a mirthful laughter.

A close friend went for a mouth wash and they told him 75k.continue.

Is it not the OP that knows everything?
I wear dentures on my front tooth. I lost the tooth when I was 4 years old and went through life with mates laughing at me for my open tooth.
Some time I went to UK, tried their dentist and that one was even so expensive, like £100 for the bridging thing. I couldn't afford. So just continued with my dentures.

Dentalgist:

Yes
But I usually advise my patients against it. You might end up destroying the tooth

GeoAfrikana:


Thank you OP. I have a broken incisor. The damage happened since I was in secondary school, we were doing 'rough play' in our dormitory.

Many times the gum under the tooth gets infected and swells. It's usually very painful. Which procedure done you think is best for me stop this pain permanently?

Thanks.

Dentalgist:


The pulpal tissue has become necrosed over the years as a result of trauma. You will need to visit your dentist who will assess the tooth and determine the treatment plan: if it is grossly mobile, extraction might be the option; if it is a cyst, you may need a periapical surgery with Root Canal treatment. Please visit a nearby dental clinic for a proper assessment.

GeoAfrikana:


I can barely comprehend a sentence. Anyways, I'll try visit a dentist as you've recommended, thanks for your time.

Dentalgist:

Sorry about that. Kindly visit a dentist for a comprehensive check

I broke my Upper left canine while opening a bottle of coke.

Some years later the tooth became temp sensitive and was filled. About 2 yrs + later the tooth started sensitivity and changed colour. I was told it was infected and was going to decay. The dentist advised and did a procedure called RCT. So far, the tooth is still good and no issues.

jjbest123:
@ Dentalgist,are you a practicing dental doctor?

Dentalgist:

I can't make an estimate with the picture. There are different treatment options available. A dentist would have to assess you and determine the appropriate treatment.

21sailor:
okay.....i get u but don't be angry and don't mind me with 40k can I get any treatment? be it bonding veneer or other

Dentalgist:

Anger?
Not at all.
Sincerely yours, going by what I am seeing in that picture, veneer won't be the best option for you. There might also be some pre-existing issues that need to be taken care of before addressing the problem. So telling the exact price won't be a nice idea. Go to a nearby dental clinic to see a dentist

Why replace missing teeth?
Replacing missing teeth is important. Besides helping you to chew and speak clearly, teeth serve as placeholders. When one or more of those placeholders are missing, the surrounding teeth start to move. Eventually, you wind up with bite problems because your teeth no longer line up correctly.

Also, the gum tissue and bone beneath the gaps left by missing teeth will start to deteriorate, making the surrounding teeth weaker. This weakening can eventually lead to further tooth loss. Really, every tooth counts!

Options for single or multiple missing teeth
The best option for replacing your missing teeth depends on your budget, oral health, and personal choice. Depending on your circumstances, your dentist will likely recommend one of these three primary options to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth:

1. Implants: An artificial replacement root is placed in the jaw bone and capped with a porcelain crown.



2. Fixed bridges: A row of artificial teeth are held in place utilizing bonding or cementing to surrounding teeth.



3. Dentures: An entire arch of teeth, upper or lower, are replaced with a prosthetic embedded with replacement teeth.


Each of these options involves a very different dental process, treatment time, and cost. They are all designed to provide lasting, natural-looking results.

Implants

Advantages: Implants provide one of the best options for restoring functionality comfort, and aesthetics. Surrounding teeth are not altered during implant placement, so there is no need to damage any healthy teeth. Also, implants are known for outstanding durability, even lasting decades.

One critical advantage is that they help to prevent bone loss because they use a root replacement. Some dentists have the ability to create and place dental implants in a single visit to their office! Ask your dentist about this option.

Fixed bridges

Advantages: Dental implants require healthy and adequate bone tissue, so they are not right for everyone. A fixed bridge is another option, looking and functioning like natural teeth. Since the bridge is set permanently in place, it doesn’t need removing for cleaning, and you don’t need to worry about “slippage.” Also, if budget is a consideration, a fixed bridge costs less than dental Implants.

Dentures

Advantages: When all of the upper or lower teeth need replacing, dentures are certainly the least expensive option. They are removable for brushing and cleaning, and for repairs. Dentures made with modern materials look very natural and function just like your own teeth. Another option, available because of advanced technology, are implant-retained dentures or overdentures that are fixed permanently in place.

The choice is yours!
Each option restores your ability to eat what you want and to smile with confidence. You will need to consider which will fit in with your budget, schedule availability, and the state of your oral health. Talk to your dentist about which option would work best for your unique circumstances.
