                    Hi
I have broken my front tooth, it's broken down quite far and I currently have a temp filling in place so you cant see the gap.
What is the best option for the tooth? Should I just get a post and perm crown out in? But I've heard that this isnt a long term option, and will need replacing???
I have no idea what a bridge is but have not heard good things about it?
Or an implant but can this be done straight away?
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

            The options available to you will be very specific to the conditions in your mouth.
 You and your dentist are the only people who can decide what's best for you.
 A treatment that has failed on one person might be the exact thing that will work well on you, so other peoples experiences aren't really relevant.
 Just make sure you feel everything has been explained well to you and in terms you understand.
 Don't be afraid to ask questions until you do feel you understand it well. This is called informed consent, and any medical person is legally bound to get informed consent before proceeding.How to find a dentist.
 1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
 2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
 3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
 4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0
