Will the root need to be removed regardless of the treatment I decide to have?

Monday, May 10th, 2010
Q.
I had an upper front tooth crown on a post which became loose so my dentist lengthened it. It became loose and on removing it the root fractured. He is now going to remove the root and put a denture in its place . This seemed a good option so my gum can heal to enable implant at later date, if I dont like the denture.

A.
The root is always removed whe… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
