Not every person has a complete set of teeth; with age, almost everyone has to deal with the issue of restoring lost units. The choice of method depends on several factors, one of which is price. During a consultation with a dentist, the patient receives all the necessary information about how much a dental prosthesis of one type or another costs, how prices for various services are determined, and what can or cannot be saved. Let's look at some of these questions.
Review of modern technologies that allow you to insert teeth
Just 30 years ago, there was only one way to replace lost teeth—prosthetics, and patients were offered crowns made of heavy and unesthetic materials—various metal alloys. And no one was embarrassed by the sight of metal teeth in the smile area. Nowadays, you can insert teeth in such a way that no stranger will even guess that you have a crown or prosthesis in your mouth, and not your natural teeth - to do this, just choose crowns made of metal-ceramics, ceramics or zirconium dioxide.
Teeth can be replaced using dentures or implantation. Both technologies are universal and applicable both for single restorations (in the absence of 1-4 teeth) and for completely toothless jaws.
It is important to understand that implantation does not exclude the stage of prosthetics, however, the crown in this case is not placed on the supporting tooth, but on the abutment of the implant implanted into the jaw bone.
How can you insert teeth in your case? The answer to this question will depend on how many teeth you are missing:
1. If you have teeth, but are severely damaged, you may be offered prosthetic crowns or immediate implantation.
2. If only one tooth is missing in a row, it can be inserted either by installing a denture (bridge) or by implantation. The latter method will be preferable, as it will allow the tooth to be inserted without affecting healthy teeth. The implanted implant will serve as a support for the crown.
3. If a large number of teeth, or even all teeth, are missing in the rows, they can be inserted using removable dentures or dentures on implants.
IMPORTANT: On the Internet you can find many reviews from people who decided to have teeth inserted and subsequently encountered various complications - from pain to prosthesis breakage or implant rejection. There is only one reason for such reviews - poor quality treatment. Therefore, if you decide to have teeth inserted, do not be lazy to spend time carefully choosing the clinic where you will have your teeth inserted.
Both during prosthetics and implantation, you may be offered to insert teeth with different types of dentures and crowns. Let's look at the features, pros and cons of all possible options.
Installation of “vampire” fangs
A “vampire” crown is made and attached in exactly the same way as a simple crown, which is aimed at restoring a chip. The only difference is the actual form and sequence of actions.
Fitting Process: Once the doctor makes an impression, a specialist technician will make the impression into a vampire fang shape. Thus, a plaster model is born, which, although it is a test one, is based on this model and a permanent mold is made, which is then expanded.
When the plaster model is ready, the dentist tries it on the patient to find out whether the part needs to be sent for revision. An artificial gis model is attached to the client’s jaw; he must wear this model for fourteen days from the moment of installation, only then, using special cement, the dentist installs a permanent “vampire” crown, which is made from pure ceramics or metal-ceramics, which is much cheaper.
We must not miss the point that before installing a vampire fang, the carrier tooth is ground down, as a result of which the enamel is severely damaged; although this is harmful, this procedure allows you to securely fix the crown. It should be taken into account that after such a build-up it will not be possible to return the previous shape of the teeth.
Insert teeth with metal-ceramic crowns
You can inexpensively replace teeth with metal-ceramic crowns. Such dental prostheses have a metal base and are covered with a layer of ceramic mass on top. This is done so that the finished crown has a natural and aesthetic appearance.
Metal-ceramic crowns are used in both traditional prosthetics and implantation, however, if you need to insert a front tooth, this option of dentures is not suitable. The fact is that the metal from which the base of the crown is made oxidizes over time and this reaction can cause the gums to appear blue in the area where the crown is installed. This cyanosis will be clearly visible when smiling or talking, which of course will affect the level of aesthetics.
If you want to see what a smile will look like if you replace your teeth with metal-ceramic crowns, look at the photos we publish below.

Insert ceramic teeth
Inserting ceramic teeth will be the right decision if you need to restore your front teeth, which are clearly visible when communicating with people around you. But for the restoration of chewing teeth, ceramic crowns are not suitable: ceramics is a fairly fragile material and a crown made from it may not withstand the heavy load that is constantly placed on the chewing teeth when chewing food.
The high aesthetics of ceramic crowns determines the expensive prices for this type of orthopedic structures. But the patient gets a beautiful and natural smile: you can also evaluate the results of dental restoration with ceramic crowns from the photos that we have posted below. Ceramic crowns can be placed on both the abutment tooth and the implant.
Proper care
Typically, the service life of such teeth is quite long, but it all depends on the quality of oral hygiene:
- Be sure to stop using a toothbrush with increased rigidity and not use abrasive toothpastes. They can cause damage to the extended part quite quickly;
- Try to give up bad habits - smoking, as well as excessive coffee consumption. Composite materials easily absorb all kinds of dyes;
- The material has a looser consistency, unlike natural enamel. Accordingly, deposits of plaque and stones occur faster on the artificial part. It is necessary to brush your teeth at least 2 times a day;
- Twice a year you should undergo preventive examinations with a dentist, who will carry out additional polishing and protective varnish.
How to insert a tooth if there is no root?
If you have had a tooth removed, you can insert it using implantation, and this can be done immediately after the extraction procedure - using the method of one-step implantation. With this method of tooth restoration, implants are implanted directly into the socket of the extracted tooth and then a temporary prosthesis is placed on them. Simultaneous implantation will allow you to insert a tooth and not walk with an unpleasant dentition defect. The doctor will install a permanent crown on the implant abutment after it has fused with the bone - this usually takes 3-4 months.
Implantation is recognized as the most reliable and durable way to restore extracted and lost teeth, but it is not always possible to replace teeth with it - there is a fairly wide range of contraindications for this surgical operation.
What does the price depend on?
The cost of a service is generally influenced by five factors:
- Extension method (classic or vampire)
- Material used during the procedure.
- Experience and qualifications of the doctor.
- Status of the clinic where the procedure is performed.
- City (in large populated areas the service is much more expensive)
Do not forget about the cost of additional procedures that are used during extensions:
- Anesthesia will cost you 200-500 rubles .
- Additional ones do not cost more than 500 rubles .
- Extension, including the work of a specialist and basic material from 3000 to 4000 rubles .
- Polishing and grinding work, which is done after the procedure, costs about 200 rubles .
An all-ceramic structure will cost you much more than a metal-ceramic structure. It should be taken into account that imported materials are more expensive than their Russian substitutes. Thus, extension of fangs will cost you from 3,000 to 4,000 rubles minimum, and maximum – from 30,000 to 40,000 rubles.
How are dental implants inserted?
Implantation, in order to insert teeth, can be carried out in different ways: according to a one-stage or two-stage protocol. But its essence will always boil down to the following: in order to insert a lost tooth, the doctor will implant a special structure in the patient’s jaw - an implant, on which he will subsequently install a crown or prosthesis.
Until the stage of permanent prosthetics, you will walk with a temporary prosthesis, which is placed during one-stage implantation immediately after implantation. In two-stage implantation, immediate dentures are used to mask dentition defects.
A permanent crown or prosthesis is placed on the implant only after it has completely fused with the natural bone tissue of the jaw. Crowns for installation on an implant can be made from any material: for the restoration of front teeth, ceramic crowns are most often used, for the restoration of chewing units - products made of zirconium and metal-ceramics.
Which implantation technology should I choose to insert teeth? It is impossible to give any absentee recommendations on this matter. You need to visit the clinic, undergo an examination and diagnosis, and only after that the implantologist will offer you the optimal implantation method.
One-stage implantation with immediate loading
Modern technology of accelerated dental implantation. This procedure allows you to restore your teeth almost immediately. Implantation according to this protocol is carried out without bone grafting, or with the simultaneous replanting of the patient’s own material, which accelerates cell regeneration, due to which bone tissue is restored in the shortest possible time.
In what situations is the procedure necessary:
- When the patient is unable to visit the same clinic for a long time. Many people specially come to another city for an appointment and do not have the opportunity to regularly visit the clinic. From this point of view, the accelerated implantation procedure is best suited
- In case of need for quick dental restoration. For people in creative or public professions, missing teeth can cost a career, and one-stage dental implantation will be an excellent solution to the problem.
- Missing several teeth in a row. In this case, there is a high risk of deformation of the jaw and healthy teeth due to increased load
Reference. If one or more teeth are missing, bone tissue atrophy develops as the jaw no longer receives the necessary load. This affects 95% of patients. The sooner the dentition is restored, the less deformation the bone tissue will be subjected to.
If you need to insert a tooth after it has been removed
The best solution to insert one tooth is a one-time implantation, but a tooth can only be inserted if too much time has not passed since its removal. To firmly fix the implant in the bone, the jaw bone tissue must be dense and have a certain height. But the longer a tooth is missing, the more the bone thins and dries out. Therefore, if you had a tooth removed several years ago, you can have it replaced either with prosthetics or classical implantation.
Warning
Of course, the fang can be extended to any length, but it is better not to risk exceeding the length of the fang by 4 mm. If the extension procedure has already been carried out, then you should be prepared for the fact that not all food is now allowed. Be sure to avoid consuming products containing coloring components, because the material can change its color and darken quite quickly. You also need to give up candies, nuts and other solid foods.
Fang extensions are not always possible. If there is an incorrectly formed bite, then such a procedure is impossible. For the reason that the tooth will be subject to rapid wear or there is no room for its lining. It is better to first correct the bite and only then grow the desired canine.
