Q.
I have two crowns at the front of my mouth which I have had for approx 15 years. I would like them replaced – as I have periodontal disease and this has caused them to move. One of the crowns is slightly wobbly. Would I be right in thinking that if they were replaced this would resolve the wobblyness! My dentist (NHS) has said to take out my 4 front teeth and replace them with a temporary denture before having a fixed bridge. But surely it would be better to keep my own teeth and have the two crowns replaced wouldn’t it? I really do not want to have to wear a denture as I have very bad gag refelexes – I am only 38 – so surely it would be better to replace the crowns.Many thanks for your answer.
