My lower pre molar is dying have had a root filling but it will have to come out eventually. My dentist said I could have a bridge or implant or even just have it out and leave a gap!! I would like to have it out and then my teeth spread out/straightened . I have had a consultation for braces and I am still thinking about it.I need some help with a complete picture of options with time and cost implications – should I contemplate a bridge or an implant? I need comprehensive information – I favour the straightening as it seems less intrusive but I understand that i cant just have the lower set done – I am happy with my uppers but the lower teeth are overcrowded. isn’t it much better for your general health – and cleaning your teeth?
