I’m Not Sure What My Dentist Suggested Is Right For Me, What Do You Think?
Q.
Hi, I wondered if you could advise me with something? My front four teeth need new cosmetic work done, I have three posts and crowns and one crown, all in the front. The problem is for years they have been put in singular and the posts always come loose. My dentist is suggesting redoing and this time connected either all 4, or 2 each depending on root. What is the benefits and is this the best answer? I should say I also have a cross bite. Another dentist suggested invisalign, but I am 45 and really my teeth arent crooked except there for the cross bite teeth, 2 of them. one on the bottom and top. Also will I be ok without being able to floss connected teeth? Thanks for your help.

Hello, thank you for your questions. I don’t think connecting teeth together is always the solution as you’ll find you may get decay under the post crowns. I guess it might be better to consider removal of the poor post crowns with bridges or implants if a better post cannot be made??
