Dental replacement is required after removal of any teeth except for wisdom and supernumerary teeth. Which kind of way is better to restore missing incisors, considering cost performance? 

    According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, there are generally three approaches to repair missing incisors. It’s suggested to consult with your dentist and figure out which one suits your requirement.  

    First, removable denture. It refers to fasten the false teeth with a clasp attached g to healthy adjacent teeth. Such dental work is quite inexpensive, costing about one thousand yuan. It can be taken off at any time. As for restoration of anterior teeth, removable denture is not that aesthetic. Besides, if the prosthesis is not made perfectly, it may result in irritations to gums over time. 

    Second, fixed dental bridge. It requires to abrade a layer of enamel of the two adjacent teeth, in order to hold the bridge, several crowns attaching to each other, in place. The price varies depending on the materials. For front teeth the majorly used material is all-porcelain, costing around four thousand yuan per crown. It enjoys a good fixation and appearance. However, the abrasion of healthy teeth may do harm to dental health in a long haul. So consult with your dentist and think twice before you seek the procedure. 

    Third, dental implant. An implant tooth comprises three parts: dental implant serving as an artificial root, abutment as connector and crown for mastication and protection. The crown should be wore after the root has firmly integrated into alveolar bone. Compared with the two aforementioned ways, dental implant is set to be more pricier, costing around ten thousand for one tooth. With no need to abrade enamel, dental implant will also produce a stable, aesthetic and comfortable result, making it the major restorative way for missing tooth at presesnt. Nevertheless, not everyone is eligible candidate for dental implant. You have to take an X-ray exam for sure.
