I have worked for a general dentist for many yrs. So many people has asked me "What would you do." Well, my dh had to have his front tooth removed, now mind you he did have a root canal done, his side of family has perio disease, after yrs of doing perio work, decided to have tooth removed and implant put in place. His smile looks so natural and he just LOVES his new tooth. I guess the answer to the question everyone has asked me, I will do whatever I need to, to keep my teeth as natural as possible. The final decision is really yours and what makes you happy. Ask all questions before they do anything such as bridge versus implant, removable one tooth partial. There are many things to ponder.
