How much is it to do tooth extraction, bone graft and implant? Any recommendations?

My wisdom tooth has caused me discomfort for very long. It's kind of causing gum swelling now and then and has formed a pit where food get stuck.

I visited a dentist and he said the removal of the wisdom tooth for this case has greater risk cos it sits near a nerve.

He suggested not to proceed.

Is this make sense

I’m suffering some bone loss at the back of my jaw where my wisdom tooth was used to be. But now I might lose the 3rd molar due to bone loss causing it to be a little shakey. There’s a deep pocket now and have occasional pus. No way to salvage it?

I also have gum pockets and bone loss, and recently went for scaling and root planing at NDC.

You have pretty serious periodontitis, likely need to do surgery by Periodontal specialist. Alternatively, please visit a dentist who has dental laser, laser is better to treat if conditions still can be salvaged. Find a dental with laser pls, less invasive. PM me if you need recommendation

Its going to cost a bomb. PM me if you need recommendation.

Can check if I decided not to extract my wisdom tooth, I will have to go for operation next time?

It depends if your wisdom tooth will be giving you problems next time. Few things to consider :

1. Pain
2. Food trap
3. Gum infection
4. Cavity

I have a thinning teeth where my front top and bottom becoming more and more translucent over the years. I am afraid it might break one day.

What might be the cause? Anyone know how to fix?

Thanks in advance
