my dentist informed that my root will not support post crown what could be the problem
Q. After a severe fall I lost 2 dental crowns on the left lower side of my mouth. My dentist has informed me that my roots will not support post crowns and that I will have to have a saddle denture. I am deeply unhappy about this. Is there an alternative -and what could be the problem with my roots?
A. If the roots are infected, mobile or cracked then they won’t hold a crown. You could consider removing the teeth and using dental implants to hold new teeth in the area. This maybe more comfortable than a denture.
