My Crown Regularly Falls Off, What Kind Of Treatment Can Replace This?

Q.
Hi, I wondered if you could please advise me with something? My two front teeth have two crows on them one of the crowns regularly comes off and I have to go and get it glued back on from the dentist. My dentist has advised me that the post to which it is attached is too short and hence why it keeps coming off and loosening. He has recommended I have an implant put in however this is a costly process and one which I can not afford too easily at the moment, obviously I don’t want to be toothless. Are there any alternative treatments that I would be able to go ahead with in this situation? I wouldn’t mind another implant, as I said I’m slightly worried about the cost of it all.Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi, thank you for the question. If the problem is the post it could be removed and a longer one put make sure your dentist is capable of the this type of work. Also the bite need to checked and the strength of that root as it could contain a fracture.I hope this helps. Regards.
