Alternatives for fractured crown/tooth

12.18.06

Gum surgery or an implant…how to decide? For this tooth it’s pretty easy. Look how far under the gum the tooth broke off:

Fractured tooth

Without getting into too many details, the crack is SO deep that gum surgery would not be possible. For this situation, a dental implant is the best possible solution. We’ll talk about the dental implant process later.

One last thing. Why not a bridge instead of the implant?
