Its a bit like asking a “How much is a car?” The answer depends on: What do you want? What can we offer you? What standards shall we choose for you? What do you want it to look like? How long do you want it to last? What is the condition of the remainingg tooth / implant? What load or function will the neighbouring and opposing teeth be imposing on it? What is the status of the nerve and the supporting gums and bone? Not an easy answer either on the phone, by email or to be honest even when we first see you.
