Tooth implant
My front tooth got extracted completely in a road accident. No damage to adjacent tooth. I went to a dentist after 15 days and got an x-ray. Doctor said the adjacent tooth are weakened and bones in the extracted teeth has not yet developed completely. so, he asked me to give 10 weeks time before doing an implant. He said implant cost around 35k? Another method of bridging will cost me around 4k per tooth (total 12k for 3tooth)
My query:
1.Is it necessary to give 10weeks gap?
2.which method should I prefer?
3.what would be app. Cost of treatment?(I found 35k to be too much)
Thanks for everyone who is going to answer my query(As there is no way to thank after posting this query)

Hi...the advice of waiting 10 weeks is beneficial to you as the site of trauma will heal sufficiently before any treatment is carried out. Bone takes that much time to heal. Apart from that, implants will be better than a bridge as it does not involve touching adjacent healthy teeth . Also the cost quoted by your dentist is reasonable. However in case your adjacent teeth have been damaged ,which can be ascertained with a pulp vitality , they will need root canal treatment and crowns. In such scenario a bridge will be advisable.
