Hi all. I haven't been here for a while. I had some work done over a year ago. Front crowns, an implant and a veneer. My next step was to crown two molars but another medical situation became front and center so that was priority and dental work got put on hold. Then about the time covid happened so did my 2 molars so I couldn't even see my dentist. When I finally did get in, he yelled at me for not being there in over a year to the point he made me cry! When I tried to tell him my other medical stuff he wouldn't let up, just kept belittling me. This is why I didn't see a dentist for years in the first place!!! For a similar circumstance that happened when I was a child. I'm so mad now I intend to find a new dentist....again. Anyway, I ended up needing a molar pulled because it was abscessed. It was also bone grafted. I did let him do that.
Now my question. My other molar opposite side of mouth needs crowned. Or pulled? How much of the side of a tooth needs to be there in order to get a crown. (I snapped the tooth in half 3 weeks ago on a piece of gum! It has been previously root canaled). I don't want it pulled right now because of the healing taking place on the other side of my mouth. But I would like to eat!!
And would it be distasteful to have a new dentist remove my stitches from the bone graft? I was intending to only see my current one to remove the stitches and never return. But I don't want to return even for that.
