Visitor asks:
Hello. Around New Year, the filling in my upper right second premolar fell out. The dentist who works under the concession said the nerve would have to be removed because the cavity was too deep. Treatment followed, and then I had the bad luck that while eating the inner wall of the tooth broke off, so now the tooth is shaped like a triangle. She suggests extracting the tooth and replacing it with a bridge or an implant. Because I did not want to have the tooth removed, she put in a small amalgam filling, which fell out after a week. What solution would you suggest? I know you do not know the exact situation, but I got the impression that the doctor likes extracting teeth left and right :) I would not choose a bridge because my other teeth are healthy and that would damage two neighboring teeth. I am leaning toward an implant, of course as a self-paying patient.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
If you lose the tooth, a dental implant is certainly a much more acceptable solution for the reasons you have already mentioned yourself. The procedure is non-radical, reversible, painless and gives a good result.
Have a nice day!
