Tooth extraction-Titanium implant/bridge
I had a root canal 6 years back but still I have been getting pain in the tooth intermittently after every 6-8 months. I visited a doctor, both have said that root canal can't be done again and tooth needs to be extracted. 2 options were given - either a titanium implant or a bridge. Please suggest which is better and an estimated cost of tooth extraction, bridge and titanium implant. Thanks & Regards

Hi, Welcome to practo.   I had gone through your question I can understand your concern. You can upload a picture of tooth and it's x ray here so that we must provide the opinion about root canal treatment too. In case of bridge you need a three piece prosthesis that means your two adjacent teeth will be trimmed too. And this will cost you at least 8 to 10 thousand indian rupees. In case of implant your two adjacent teeth will not be trimmed but the cost will be high between 20-40 thousands depending upon the material used and clinical experience. Both have different prognosis. If your front teeth is involved you must opt for implant, if the back (posterior) tooth is involved go for bridge.   Hope the answer to your query. Regards. Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray Dental surgeon....
