Loss of bone after removed front tooth09/06/2007 |
Is it possible to reconstruct areas of bone loss after the upper front teeth is removed? My teeth #8 under the crown was broken on the gum level and I am going to have a bridge on 7, 8, 9 teeth (all of them had crown already). I understand that there may be the excessive loss of bone after the extraction and as result gum shrinkage. My dentist told me that if I don’t do a bridge then he has to cut gum around #8 in order to put post and then a crown. In either way I am going to have long tooth as a replacement. Is it true?
Yes, it is true.
