Is it worth getting a crown that only lasts 6 months?

Thursday, March 25th, 2010
Q.
I lost my top tooth. It has had root canal treatment and was also a crown. My dentist says I can have a crown or a bridge. One of the teeth next to it is a veneer. He has sugested getting a implant but I can’t really afford it! There is no tooth left so I just wondered is it worth getting a crown as he said it could only last 6 months. What are the chances of the bone going as I might be able to afford an implant at a later date. What do you think I should do?,

Its very difficult for me to t… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Am I eligible for the inman aligner treatment?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I am very interested in getting the Inman Aligner to correct my top two front teeth. One of my top two fronth teeth sticks out more than the other. However one of my first premolars is a bridge and this bridge is attached to the canine and the second premolar. Do you think this would mean that I am ineligible for treatment? I am 24 and keen on the use of Inman aligners due to the benefits it gives to someone my age. Many thanks,
