| Dental implant or a restoration crown?
Have you ever had a dental implant? How is it like?
Today I was told by my dentist that I have a tooth which better should be extracted but it can also go extracoronal restoration (as far as I understand). So I'm left to choose cause the funny thing is- my doc didn't tell me if it's possible to fit the crown over it if it's going restoration. because the problem is- there is not enough remaining solid tooth.
Dental implant seems awesome but as they have to drill it in the jawbone there can be various complications as well. This way is usually not supported but what should I do if don't have much of my tooth anymore?
So the question is- is it possible to successfully restore the tooth and have a porcelain cap (crown) on it, or is it alas and I should have an implant?
these problems suck aye
Thanks
haha I know it's puzzling cause I'm puzzled myself. that's usual when I'm outta dentists room. Well, the dentist told that she could restore the tooth but she can't promise it a long lifespan cause it can just brake. but having a crown it shouldn't be an issue, right?? also, yes, I'm having a root canal.
