Visitor asks:
Hello.
I am a 22-year-old woman and several years ago I chipped off half of my upper front tooth (central incisor). At the moment the missing half has been replaced by an artificial part that is simply bonded to my tooth. I am considering a more permanent solution and would like to know whether implantation is the most appropriate way to solve this type of problem.
Thank you for your answer and kind regards.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
If the root portion of the tooth is without abnormalities and the periapical bone area shows no changes on an X-ray, it is best to keep the tooth and restore the crown portion with an artificial dental crown. An implant is an option when the tooth has to be removed because of untreatable changes. Implantation therefore most likely does not apply here.
Have a nice day!
