I will be having a deep clean in my bottom front teeth next week which is the first treatment so far.
These particular teeth are the ones with the most issues, I have a lot of tartar build up which needs cleaning and there is a lot of gum recession as well as disease.
At my first check up my dentist said they he honestly cannot be sure if these teeth can be saved, he will clean the area and best case scenario will be that he can splint them in place whilst the gums recover and see how things go after the cleaning.
If however after the cleaning they are not stable enough to remain, he will extract them same day and also make a temporary couple of teeth for the area.
this is worst case scenario he said but could happen.
The dentist has a lab on site and a technician who will make it, how long will this take? Is it likely I’ll be there all day after the extraction waiting for this piece to be made or will it be less time?
I should’ve asked these questions on the day of my appointment I know, but at the time I was just shocked I actually made it (20 years since last appointment)
many thanks in advance!
