A member asked:
I regret getting premolars extractions! should i reopen space with implants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Interesting question: Four bicuspids or just two? Maxillary or mandibular? Don't know why you regret decision. Profile? Opening the space may create a bite discrepancy as well as an overjet. In addition, opening the space does not guarantee you will have adequate width of bone in the new space, which may necessitate bone grafting. All said and done, you may very well be spending over $15k to achieve your goal.
