Extraction on 2nd to last upper tooth.the tooth behind it is my own and the one in front is crown.can i have a bridge w/o removing or filing crown?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You'll need to have that crown removed and replaced as part of a three unit fixed prosthesis. You should consider having an implant placed to replace the missing tooth. It is a better alternative than using your wisdom tooth as a terminal abutment, and the expense would be somewhat similar.
