How long the splint may last?
Q. I had a splint put on my teeth about a month ago i have bone missing and my tooth was loose. how long will the splint last?
A. Hi many thanks for your email, if the splint was placed to stabalise the tooth due to lack of bone support it sounds as if the splint will unfortunately be a permanant fixture, it should last around 12 months and then may need replacment.
