Hi there, I have just returned from the dentist where i was meant to undergo a replacement crown, as my original one was 15 years old and was starting to have gum recede.
After a long time in the chair of removal and drilling and xrays, my dentist told me that there was something on my sinus something or other, (sorry)
At this point he started apologising that he had misinformed me, and that i would now no longer to be able to have a crown because it probably wouldnt hold.
I started crying and was told i could have a denture, bridge or inplant. What i was wondering, what would you advise me to do. Im only 40 and it is tooth b1 so i dont want a denture for obvious reasons, or a bridge because it would entail damaging already healthy teeth.
Would i be allowed to have an immediate post extraction inplant placement. I feel very upset and quite traumatised at the moment. Your opinion would be most appreciated. By the way, he put a temporary crown in place for now. Thanks.
