I just purchased a dental partial for two missing teeth in the upper portion of my mouth that are in my smile. I am not happy with it at all.
It is very uncomfortable and worst of all I feel the metal parts look worse than my missing teeth. I was wondering what a round-about price would be on dental implants for a case such as mine.

Thanks for the question, Melinda. Unfortunately, there is no way to give you a fair estimate of your needs and costs because we cannot guess what your situation might be. There are lots and lots of things that have to be considered:
· Is there enough bone available? If these teeth were lost because of a blow or auto accident, many times there is insufficient bone to do implants....or we have to add bone by grafting to create enough bone.
· Is there enough space for nice crowns? Some people have lots of space up here, some have a very close bite that makes esthetic crowns on implants difficult. Occasionally we will advise that you NOT put implants into an area that demands great esthetics.
· Are there other problems in the mouth that need to be considered in this project?
· Is there some other treatment that will be needed? Root canals on adjacent teeth, decay to clean up, difficult skeletal bite problem to deal with?
· Is there now or was there infection in the area that needs to be considered?Are there alternatives to implants that might be a better choice for you?
It is much more complex than it might seem. What we recommend is that you make an appointment for an implant evaluation and come let one of us look at it directly. We will want x-rays of the area, photos of the area, and possibly other things to help in decision-making. This is the only way for you to get all the information you need to make an informed decision.Please give us a call for an appointment.
