Q. Hello Dr Moore, would you always prescribe a dental implant over other treatment like crowns? My dentist has said I can have either but I am thinking about the cheaper option in crowns? Would you say it was better in the long run to get implants?
A. It isn’t normally a choice between a crown or an implant. A crown is used if the root od the tooth is sound and the tooth can be saved. If the tooth can’t be saved then a bridge or an implant is usually used, I would nearly always find that an implant would work the best.
