Implants, maybe?
Teeth 18 and 19 both had root canals and crowns about 10 years ago.
Last year, 19 cracked below the gum line and had to be extracted (that
was fun). Last month, 18 abcessed (even more fun) and was pulled as
well. What to do now?
I've been told I have bone loss in that same area. If bone is grafted,
do I have a pretty good chance of gaining enough strength to hold
implants? If I leave the space empty, is 17 next? My preference would
be to make the best choice, in terms of the long run, even if it means
greater expense.
