Q. I have just had to have the root of my crown removed as it had broken in half.I have already lost the two teeth next to it. However as the crown was near the front of my mouth, my Dentist has fitted a temporary denture whilst it heals. She planned to fit a metal one in a couple of months as I get Thrush and obviously the plastic is not ideal. I am not getting on at all well with the denture, and rather than waste money on another one, I am considering an implant to replace the crown and am not concerned about the gaps further back. I have been quoted £2,000 at my nearest centre, but how do I know if this particular dental surgeon is fully qualified in this field. Are there any questions I should ask, or is there a list of recommended surgeons?
