Q. i have been told that i am loosing the bone in the front of my two front teeth and that i will have to have them taken out i have already got crowns on the four front teeth what will the dentist replace them with as i dont want a great big gap in my front teeth

A. The qestion you need to ask your dentist is the reason for your bone loss and if it is gum disease why this hasn’t been picked up sooner.
If you have bone loss it may be impossible for you to have implants. I’m not sure what your dentist will replace your teeth with. Probaby a denture. You would have to ask him. If you do have gum disease then this needs to be treated before you loose any more teeth
