Dental question?

My adult son just had a tooth come out..at the top. Have you ever had a bridge put in for one tooth.?.Or. they said there's something else like having a tooth glued to the sides of the other teeth. Have you ever had either of these done? Do you remember approx. how much it cost? I've been trying to find a Dental Insurance for him that will help..but can't find one that covers this.Do you know of any that will pay part of it? (more than 25%)
--------------------
I don't know anything about bridges and things like that but I will pass this experience that I had on to you. Every one that I know that has had a partial plate has had this experience as well. I did not know this was going to happen until after the fact or else I would never had the partial made. I had a partial made and put in. It had wires on it that fit around the teeth that remained to hold in the partial. As time goes by, the wires on the partial does rub constantly on the good teeth that the wire is around. In time, 2-3 years, those once "good teeth" are now going to get bad because of the wire rubbing on them all the time. I couldn't tell you how many times that I had to have those two teeth fixed that kept going bad because of that partial wire around them. 20 some years have gone by since I had that partial made. Hundreds of dollars in dentist bills paid in fixing those once "good teeth". The last time that they were fixed by a different dentist told me that the wire was causing the problem. That if I could eat without the partial...to stop wearing it. I did just that, but it was too late by then, the damage was DONE! I lost one of those teeth about 4 months ago and I am loosing the other one this coming Monday. If I had it all to do over, my mouth would NEVER see a partial plate. At least I would still have 2 "good teeth". I have yet talked to a person that had a partial that hasn't had this same thing happen to them. Sorry for the long story here, but had to share my experience with partial plates. So please do something different than getting anything for him that has wires in it that touches any of his other teeth. As for the dential insurance, sorry I can't help you there. The only thing that I do know about the insurance is that in most cases that I have saw, you have to have it for a few months before you can use it.
