Teeth question...?

What are the options for a teenager with rotten teeth in the future? I heard about fake teeth...as in a screw added to your gums and the teeth put in...but that's as much as they can do?

Teeth question...?
There would be special liqiuds and medicines to drink to make new teeth grow. Thats what i think
Reply:if they are completely rotten then the best solution is implantation (the screw and the teeth as u said it), this is the best because they feel like ur original teeth and they are fixed in the bones but this is expensive.


if u still have good teeth then u can put what we call a porcelain crown or porcelain fixed bridge which is like original teeth but made of porcelain.


ur dentist will explain it all to u but this is a brief idea.
Reply:"Fake Teeth" are implants and depending on the condition of your gums will cost from $2 to $6,000.00 per tooth. (If your jaw bone has eroded, eg if your teeth have been missing for a long time, they will have to do some gum surgeries and bone grafts to build them up). Sometimes the implants don't take. If you have enough of the tooth left to support a buld-up or post and core, you can just crown the teeth...this will cost, with the build up, about $1500 to $2000 per tooth. If you have a few good teeth to support abutments, you can have bridges or partial dentures done. These cost around $3000 for a bridge, maybe $1500 for a partial. Or just get them all pulled and have dentures made (about $1500 to $2000 per arch-upper and lower). If you have a major university nearby with a dental school, you may be able to get into a program where the dental students work on your teeth and sometimes they will have a sliding scale fee.
