Can implant be used to replace baby tooth?

Q. Hello Im 30 years old and i still have a baby lower tooth without a permanent tooth underneath it. Its recently becoming loose and starting to bleed alot and i think its getting ready to fall out. Its the first more double sized tooth if you know what i mean and i was wondering if an implant would be a good solution and more importnatly how much this would roughly cost? If this is too expensive what other options would be available to me other than to just leave a gap? Many thanks
A. Hi Matt.

Thanks for your question.

It’s difficult to give you an indepth answer without a consultation.

An implant is probably an option for you and prices for a single implant and restoration (crown) are usually in the region of £2,000.

There may be other options available to you such as a bridge or partial denture.

I would strongly recommend consulting a dentist who would be able to give you all the options and the pros and cons of each along with a more accurate estimate of costings.

I hope that this helps.

Regards
