So how much is the estimate? What kind of replacement is it? Bridge/implant/etc. The other thing is that I would consider seeking out a really good prosthedontist, (specialist in dentures), especially since he or she would probably not be more than your dentist.

It's going to be an implant, with a metal post I believe. The estimate is about 4k from start to finish. Insurance will cover part of the procedure due to the original issue to the tune of about $1400 leaving me with the balance.
Thank you for the suggestion on the "prosthedontist" I honestly didn't even know they existed, and I'm going to call one tomorrow.
