Implants, maybe?
| istrum@hotmail.com | 17 Nov 2006 17:59 |
Teeth 18 and 19 both had root canals and crowns about 10 years ago. Last year, 19 cracked below the gum line and had to be extracted (that was fun). Last month, 18 abcessed (even more fun) and was pulled as well. What to do now? I've been told I have bone loss in that same area. If bone is grafted, do I have a pretty good chance of gaining enough strength to hold implants? If I leave the space empty, is 17 next? My preference would be to make the best choice, in terms of the long run, even if it means greater expense.
