What would be the best form of treatment for decayed and broken teeth?
Q. Hi Rob I recently lost one of of my canine teeth dury a football match. My two front teeth are also showing signs of rot and some off my other teeth are badly decayed and broken down. What would be the best form of treatment? Would it be getting crowns or having dental implants. Any advice is greatly appreciated Many thanks,
A. Dental implants replace the missing tooth roots. The implant is connected to a crown via an abutmnent component. So implants are used under dentures, crowns and bridges. The decision on whether to keep your existing roots (think of them as mother natures implants) depends on whether they are mechanically strong enough once the decayed and fractured parts are remnoved. Hope this doesn’t seem too flippant. Call Amy on 0121 643 0610 if you would like a free clinical assesmnent / chat. Regards Rob
