Looking for info on choosing a Cosmetic Dentist?

dental bridge

Posted by alice on 9/9/2009, 3:35 pm

Mostly a question: I must have front tooth removed [50 year old crown is failing]. One option is to replace that tooth/crown with a single-tooth bridge [my terminology might not be entirely precise]. However, since the 4 front teeth are all crooked and mis-alighned, another option is to file the 3 'remaining' teeth {all v. good condition}, and then rebuild all FOUR with crowns that 'remodel' the entire area into 4 straighter teeth. Does this seem sensible or odd and extreme? By filing down 3 perfectly healthy teeth would I just be asking for trouble in the future (near, or far)?
