Would be sensible for me to have the root extracted and have a bridge done now, then a bone graft and implant later on?

Monday, April 12th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I had an accident recently in November 2009 where I fractured the root of my upper front left tooth and have had it extracted (with the root still left in place-this was done in case I was to have an implant). I am now looking into my options for either a bridge or an implant. At this stage I am considering getting a bridge (due to both money and time restraints) but would like some advice on the implications of removing the root now for the bridge and whether this will affect me having an implant at a later stage in any way? Could you please advise me and give your opinion whether it would be sensible for me to have the root extracted and have a bridge done now then a bone graft and implant later on? Kind Regards,

I have been suggested dentures and implants do I have other options?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
Hi I have recently suffered a fracture to my upper right canine which had a cantilever bridge attached with a pontic for the lateral incisor. I have the same arrangement on the left upper side and two veneers on my central incisors. This is because I never got my permanent lateral incisors. My dentist says the only option for me is a denture or implants. I really don’t want to go back to having a denture but I don’t think I can afford implants. Would it not be possible to have another type of bridge using my front incisor and the canine for support? As What other options could I have? thanks

Q.
I have had a root filling and a gold cap put over the tooth. The tooth keeps getting infected and it may be better to have it out.

Can titanium rods suport as tooth roots

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Q.
I have been told that after a root canal in one of my lower molars, that now the root has come away from the canal and the other root cannot support the tooth on its own, and therefore the tooth needs to be extracted. My tooth doesn’t feel particularly loose, I’m not in any pain, and I don’t particularly want to loose it and get an implant. Is there anyway that titanium rods can be used in keeping the natural tooth?

Will the gold crown fitted will stop the tooth to flex?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
I have a fractured back tooth. My dentist finds that the nerve is not infected and I agree because it is not sensitive to hot and cold and if the tooth isn’t touched it feels okay. However, my concern is that the tooth is sensitive when under pressure and I presume this is because any pressure allows movement, however small, of the fracture. At the moment I have a temporary crown in place, awaiting a permanent fitting. Would it be expected that when the gold crown is fitted that will stop the ability of the tooth to flex. Can anything be done underneath the crown to gain stability? Many thanks.

A.
When teeth have cracks we can … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
