Do I have any alternative than having the roots removed and a denture
Q. I have a four tooth bridge the first crown is the eye tooth and the 2nd is the last tooth in my right upper jaw. The post snapped on the 1st crown and the dentist has said that I must have implants as the crowns cant support the bridge and the roots are too soft for single crowns with a two tooth denture in between.Do I have any alternative than having the roots removed and a denture until I can affiord the implants. HELP
A. Hi It sounds like this might be your best option as another bridge would be very difficult to keep in place and if the roots are left too long then the bone might shrink away due to infection
