After root treatments one of my tooth has gone loose and about to break off
Q. Just after 4 years after root treatments on my discoloured Front right no 1 tooth has gone loose about to break off. Went to my usual nhs dentist who offered no important info, paid to visit expensive cosmetic dentist who done digital x-ray n told me its worst poss fracture of tooth said he would not crown it as he thinks its unethical. Im a nurse practitoner and not daft when it comes to x-rays and treatments. Basically looks like an oblique fracture quite far into root. NHS dentist has aquacelled or whatever meantime but cant see me again for temp crown till 22 Dec! Looking for informed info into implant cos as a nurse i simply cant afford to pay up £3000 unless this is my only or main option. looking for advice asap please. Thank you. Oh and cant be off work for vanity reasons already been off today! Need proper solution pronto. Thank you.
A. Fractures are usually the end of the tooth sooner rather than later. Spending more money on the tooth is false economy. Generally we manage shattered roots by extraction and replace the missing tooth with an adhesive bridge / denture in the first few weeks. after 8 weeks an implant is put in and left for 3-6months to heal ( temp bridge goes back) then the finished crown and completion is 5-8months after extraction. there are faster ways but this gives best results in most cases.Guide price £2500 from start to finish.Call 0121 643 0610 for a free consultation if you want further guidance. NB most labs who make bridges / dentures will need to get your casts in the next days if you are going to get a replacement before 1st week january.Rob
