I have a root canal in a premolar which has failed and the tooth beneath is now rotting. I would like to have something in its place as a gap would be visible when I smile. Could you give me a cost for a bridge or a titanium implant or make a suggestion about another option please? I would be travelling from NZ.
Also, would it be best to get the tooth extracted now? I may not make it to Malaysia until December.
