My Crowned Tooth Has A Broken Post And Infection, Are The Costs I Have Been Quoted Accurate?
Q.
I have a crown with a broken post and possible infection (seen on xray).The tooth is the front left one.
The crown is also loose and has to come out.
My dentist gave me two option: To remove the tooth or two keep it (not reccomended by him, couse of the infection and possibility he may not be able to drill the remaining post out and Infection may not be treated succsesfully.
If I remove my tooth, I have option of 1.-implant (only done privately and too expensive (£2000)
2.dentures for tooth-i dont like it because I can take them in and out
3.bridge-done on nhs with one wing and possibility it may coume out, or done privetly with two wings, over my other front tooth, but it may couse pain, and again it cost more (£1000).
What would you reccomend?
I have to mention that I was planing to do veneer on my other right front tooth -its crooked-anyway so these two look the same, and veneer on NHS cost me £300.

I would advise the 1 wing maryland bridge . The suggestion of a 2 wing maryland is a joke as this is deemed an inferior design by most academic clinicians. An NHS veneer will not cost 300 it should cost 215 in the same treatment as your bridge.
