How much do dental implants cost? Implantation? Operations involving wisdom teeth?
These are topics often searched on the web, another good question is: how much does it cost to transplant wisdom teeth?
-
Specifically: Wisdom teeth need not always be removed, they can be transplanted instead. The picture shows a 6-tooth in the upper jaw which has received faulty root treatment (highlighted in red). Hidden under the mucuous membrane is the 8 (highlighted in blue).

The badly treated tooth has been removed and the 8 put in place of the 6. 2 months after the operation, the root is still in the process of growing (the blue lines in the first x-ray). Two years after the transplantation, the root has finished growing (the blue lines in the second x-ray). The mucuous membranes in the mouth of the patient have finished healing, the former 8 (blue arrow) is now where the 6 used to be.

Bridges or implants are not always necessary, it is often possible to use one’s own teeth. Ask your dentist!
