It takes up to six months for a dental implant to be fully in place. I think they can take the tooth out now but can’t do the implant until after she has the baby.
The price of £4k sounds extortionate, especially for the NHS. We were quoted less here in America, albeit with US dental insurance
Was literally just at the dentist YESTERDAY with a family member who had the same thing happen. Tooth broke off. Root remained and had to be removed by dental surgeon
Then yesterday family member was fitted with a BRIDGE, as we were advised implant was too expensive and too much “faff” and the bridge would be the best option for family member. Still we are paying around $1100 US - that is with US dental insurance! Would gladly have booked flights to the UK if I had known it could be done on NHS for a fraction!
