Visitor asks:
HELLO. MY UPPER LEFT LATERAL INCISOR SUDDENLY STARTED TO HURT VERY BADLY, SO THE TOOTH WAS OPENED, BUT IT COULD NOT BE SAVED AND WAS LATER EXTRACTED. NOW I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS MISSING TOOTH COULD BE REPLACED. I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT AN IMPLANT, BUT THE SITUATION IS THAT I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CENTRAL AND LATERAL INCISORS ON THE RIGHT. THE CENTRAL INCISOR IS BROKEN ALMOST HALFWAY DOWN AND THE LATERAL INCISOR IS CRACKED FROM AN IMPACT (BASKETBALL). WHAT SOLUTION WOULD YOU RECOMMEND? I WORK IN A SHOP.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
You have two fixed prosthodontic options available:
-a conventional bridge (if the neighboring teeth are severely damaged, this is the first-choice treatment)
-an implant (if the neighboring teeth are intact and healthy).
For a precise answer, I suggest that we perform a clinical examination and take a panoramic X-ray.
Have a nice day!
