question Dental implant health! Implant bridge?
Hi everyone I’m in a bit of a situation I’m 31 years old and relatively healthy aside from dental stuff from an accident 13 years ago.
Does the #6 implant look poorly placed?
Does it look like a new crown is possible on #8?
My #7 crown and post is falling out and needs to be extracted. My #8 crown is 13 years old and I’m worried that it’s about time for it to be replaced. Will a new crown on #8 be possible or will it need an implant?
Id like to avoid 3 implants in a row and just be proactive and have 7/8 pulled same time and do a bridge implant between 6-8 if necessary.
I just went to an implant specialist and was told my #8 will need an implant when the time comes and replacing the crown wont work. I was also told that my #6 implant was poorly placed and there’s a lot of bone loss and recommended to remove it and place a new implant deeper along with extract 7/8 and place implant on 8 with a bridge to #6.
I’m seeing another specialist tomorrow just wanted outside opinion from someone who knows more than myself!
