Q. I had an apisectomy roughly ten years ago and have 2 caps on my front teeth. However I have been told that the root is still infected and that I require another operation but there is not a high success rate. What other options are available to me? Should I go for implants or a bridge? I would like something that will last me for a longer time and look natural as my caps are very discoloured. Many thanks

A.

I recommend you book an appointment with an implantologist to see if this would be an option for you. I then would ask the dentist that recommended the further treatment for this tooth and ask him the prognosis and make an informed decision from there.

Kind regards
