So I was a racketball nut when I was in my early 20s, I just loved the game until a reckless opponent hit me with racket and broke several of my front teeth. There was quit a bit of trauma to my mouth, caps then post eventually bridges. Last week one three tooth bridge failed. It has two teeth with root canals and a missing tooth that cantilevered off the others 2. Well it snapped and although it is re-glued in place, it will need to be replaced. I knew it was a big deal and now I am faced with a choices. Not tomorrow mind you but he said “I would be proactive.”
1. Rebuild the two remaining teeth with posts and a new bridge. It could last 10 years or more. I’m 65
2. 3 implants, 2 extractions and 3 new teeth. One and done but pricy and probably 4 months with a temporary teeth. Implants must have time to fuse.
Any thought out there.. the thought of 3 implants scares me.
