I need to know what to do. I have an impacted left upper cusped tooth. I went to the oral surgeon and they said I would have to loose the cusped. The cusped tooth is horizontal in the gum line. The tooth actually grew through the root of the permanent tooth next to it. I will loose that tooth also. The only way I can get two implants, I will have to get bone graphs to build up enough foundation for implants. I know that will cost at least $6K. I am a college student and funds are limited. So would my best option be to get a bridge that would connect the first upper molar across to the next first molar? My upper teeth are not perfectly straight anyway. I am just looking for the best fix for now. and later when I get out of college I may seek for implant. If the bridge is permanant I'll just keep a bridge.
Answer:
Hi I am a qualified dental nurse with 20yrs experience,and while i sympathise with you entirely I really wouldn't worry about the loss of those two molar teeth most people don't miss them and carry on as normal.The implants you mention and the bridges have far less success rate the further you place them back in the mouth and you really have to be so meticulous in the way you maintain them and even then they can be detrimental to your surrounding teeth.I would have the teeth extracted and wait for a while see how you get on and spend the money on having fun.Honestly I have patients who only have 6 sometimes 5 teeth back on each arch and they eat just as well and for aesthetics reasons no one is going to notice that far back..relax dude
well go see an orthodonist they can help.
I had this!! you dont need implants! just go to an orthodontist and they can attach a chain and pull it down for you. Thats what i did, however it was pretty expensive...
I think the bone is too thin in front, for an implant.
