Dear Sir/Madam!
I would like to ask for your opinion.
Recently the crown came off a "post" – upper right lateral incisor. My dentist temporarily placed it back, but said that in the long term it did not make sense to cement it back, although the "post" remained in place and the crown is not damaged. He suggested an implant and a ceramic crown. I would like to know whether this is really the only solution. Why does it not make sense to put the existing crown back?
It is true that from time to time a painless pus-filled bump appears on the gum above that tooth; it bursts and disappears after a while.
I also have a panoramic X-ray in electronic form, which I can send to you by email so that you can assess the situation more easily.
Thank you for your answer and have a nice day!

Dear Sir/Madam!
To decide whether the tooth can be retained or not, I would need an X-ray, which you can send to me by email. If the tooth cannot be retained, an implant is most often the best solution.
Have a nice day!
