I hope someone may be able to advise.
I have been here before, a while ago. Always had dental phobia. Tried very hard to minimise my fear and get my teeth sorted. But because my canines were removed as a kid (I know, so wrong) and I had to have a bridge, it caused stress on my front teeth. I had to have the bridge removed and ended up with an acrylic plate. But it made me very anxious to wear it, so never have. And just put up with the gaps. But now...I have a bad infection in one of my front teeth, all around it. It may have been fractured in the past. The specialist says it has to be removed and I can't have an instant implant (bone loss) and he seems to think the only option is another plastic plate. But I am so worried about this as I know I just can't wear one. I will end up with the tooth removed, a plate made up and then not able to wear it. I will never smile or talk He said a cobalt one probably isnt an option because of my lack of teeth.
Maybe I am asking the impossible for help ???
