Prosthodontics

Tooth replacement is the restoration of missing or irreparably damaged teeth. At Smile Expert's Budapest clinic in District V, you can choose from four main solutions: crown, dental bridge, implant and removable denture. Our prices start from 110 000 Ft (metal-ceramic crown) and from 120 000 Ft (implant placement); we determine the exact solution and price at a free consultation, based on a panoramic X-ray or dental CT scan.

Why is it important to replace a missing tooth in good time?

The guiding principle of our clinic is to preserve your natural teeth: for as long as possible, we save the tooth with modern fillings and root canal treatment. However, once a tooth can no longer be saved, delaying its replacement is not merely an aesthetic issue. Bone loss can begin where the tooth is missing, the adjacent teeth can shift and become loose, speech can deteriorate, and reduced chewing ability also puts a strain on digestion. Tooth replacement is therefore important from a health and functional point of view too, not just for a beautiful smile.

Tooth replacement with a crown

Ha a fog annyira sérült, hogy tömés vagy betét már nem elegendő, a fogkorona az ideális megoldás. A modern, jól illeszkedő koronák nem károsítják az alattuk lévő fogat, nem okoznak allergiás reakciót vagy ínygyulladást, és esztétikailag is természetes hatásúak. Rendelőnkben fémkerámia, cirkónium és préskerámia (E-max) korona közül választhat, a régi, rosszul illeszkedő koronák cseréjét is vállaljuk.

Tooth replacement with a dental bridge

While a crown is made for a single tooth, a bridge can span several missing teeth. The bridge's supporting pillars can be healthy (ground-down) teeth or implants. If you want to avoid grinding down your healthy teeth, a bridge fixed onto an implant is a more durable solution and also prevents bone loss. Read more on our tooth replacement with a bridge page.

Implant-based tooth replacement

The implant is the most advanced solution: the titanium artificial root is placed where the tooth is missing, so the adjacent teeth do not need to be ground down, and the chewing force preserves the jawbone. It can be used for anything from a single tooth to a full set of teeth. Read more on the dental implant page, about the prices in the dental implant prices summary, and for a full set of teeth on the All-on-4 tooth replacement page.

Removable tooth replacement

When several teeth or a full set of teeth are missing, a removable denture is a more affordable entry-level solution. Fitting considerably more securely than a conventional acrylic denture is the BPS premium denture, which adheres by suction and gives a more natural appearance. We will help you choose the type that suits you: see our which is the best removable denture guide.

Which tooth replacement is right for you?

The choice depends on the number of missing teeth, the condition of the jawbone, your aesthetic requirements and your budget. A few points for guidance:

• A single tooth is missing: typically an implant or a bridge is the solution (see the price of replacing 1 tooth).
• Several adjacent teeth are missing: a bridge or several implants may be an option.
• A full set of teeth is missing: you can choose between a fixed All-on-4 full-arch bridge and a removable denture (which can even be stabilised with implants).
• A damaged tooth that still has a viable root: can be saved with a crown.

We always draw up the exact plan based on an individual examination and a CT scan, so that we truly arrive at the solution that suits you and works in the long term.

Frequently asked questions about tooth replacement

How long does a tooth replacement take to make?

A crown or bridge is typically made within a few appointments, as our own dental laboratory speeds up the process. With implant-based replacement, you should expect a longer process of several months, due to the bone integrating with the implant.

Which tooth replacement is the most durable?

With good oral hygiene, implant-based tooth replacement is the most durable, because it does not put a strain on the adjacent teeth and also preserves the jawbone.

Does having a tooth replacement made hurt?

The procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic, so they are not painful. For anxious patients, conscious sedation is also available.

How much does a tooth replacement cost?

It depends on the solution: a metal-ceramic crown from 110 000 Ft, implant placement from 120 000 Ft, a full removable denture from 288 000 Ft. You can find the full, itemised list in the price list here.
