Knocked-Out Tooth Treatment in Plano, TX
Overview of knocked-out tooth treatment
At Plano Family Dental, Dr. Joseph and Dr. Schell are very familiar with handling knocked-out teeth situations. We offer emergency appointments to help accommodate your needs. We even have 7:00am appointments most days of the week. When you come in for an emergency appointment, any x-rays or pictures will be taken. The doctors will assess if your tooth is still viable. Sometimes it can be put in place and your body can reattach it! Other times, it is not savable and an implant or other restoration will have to be made. Our doctors will make a recommendation that will help you and answer all your questions and concerns.
Am I a good candidate for knocked-out tooth treatment

How much does treatment for a knocked-out tooth cost
Cost depends on what procedure(s) need to be done. At our office, an emergency visit is around $209-250. This does not include restorations. Implants, bridges and partial dentures can cost around $1000-4000 per tooth involved. A cost estimate of your treatment will be given to you. If you need to see our in-house implant specialist, then a cost estimate will be emailed to you after a review by the specialist.
Is the treatment for a knocked-out tooth worth the cost
Yes. The other teeth nearby can change position over time if a knocked-out tooth area isn't addressed. It's also good to restore a tooth when it affects your chewing or speaking ability. Most people would also consider it worth the cost to restore a missing tooth if it's a front tooth.
Why is treatment for a knocked-out tooth so expensive
To replace a natural tooth with an implant, bridge or partial denture requires special materials. You typically need to see a specialist for things like implants, so you pay for the expertise of a doctor who knows how to make a restoration that will last. All of these procedures require multiple appointments, your cost covers those as well.
