I’ve Had Conflicting Advice. Should I Get Implants Or A Cantilever Bridge?
Q.
My 7th right lower molar was done with RCT. But due to poor support of the crown capping they were misplaced twice. RCT was also not done properly due to prognosis being questionable. Now my doctor has advised me for an extraction due to the poor condition of the tooth. My 8th molar was already extracted 3 years back due to impaction. I am afraid that in absence of two molars that I will be unable chew food. Someone suggested a Cantilever bridge and someone said implant. what should I go for? I am confused, I hope you can advise me. Also is it necessary to go for any option after extraction? Can’t it be left as it is? Thanks.

Hi. Based on the information you have presented I would say a Cantilever bridge is not suitable at all. An implant should work, yes. We could offer you a free implant consultation if you arrange an appointment with us. Thanks, I hope we can help you sort your problems out. Much appreciated, Dr Hussein Shaffie.
