I have fractured my tooth root do I need a denture

Q. My post crown fell out last week and when I went to the dentist he said that I had fractured my root and the only option was to remove the root and have a partial denture fitted – is this correct advice?

A. If the root is fractured, then the only option is to have it extracted.
Privately you have the option to fill the space with a bridge or an implant. On the NHS a partial denture is available.

Hi there, one of molar tooth has got a severe fracture is is falling apart. I am foreseeing it will need to be extracted. Can you tell me the costs of such a procedure, classing it as an emergency appointment thanks
