How much is it to replace a permanent retainer with attached false teeth? (Photo)

Question

I had two baby teeth that didn't have adult teeth growing underneath them. Because of this, I have two large gaps in my bottom front teeth. Braces didn't work, and the dentist's solution was to install a permanent retainer with attached teeth. This was 10 years ago and now the piece broke. The wire snapped, and the acrylic used to attach the teeth crumbled. What is the most affordable option to replace/repair this? What is the price range? Is there a better option instead of the retainer itself?

The best option for you is a dental implant for each missing tooth. The approximate cost for each Dental implant along with crown is USD 500 at our center.

Sorry to see that you are having a problem, the repair you require may be simple and cost about $100. But the better long term option for replacement of your two missing teeth are dental implants. Seek care from a dentist or oral surgeon to discuss your options

The repair may be simple and cost about $100. But the better long term option for replacement of your two missing teeth are dental implants. If you have adequate bone, each implant will be about 2000 and each crown (the tooth part) around 1500. This will be a fixed and long term solution, providing you with the feel and function of natural teeth.
