    I am looking for some advice, I have already 4 crowns with root treatment which are three years old and need to be replaced. I have a choice of replacing the crowns and root treatment again with a possible question mark over the lifespan (5+ years maybe) or 2 implants with a bridge for the middle two. I have chosen the dentist but just looking for advice on road to go down.

    Also has anybody got any advice (pro's/con's) on front teeth veneers?

    Any help appreciated!! :)

    A lot of the crowns I have had over the years have come out at some point or other.

    On the other hand I have 1 inplant which has lasted 8 years so far
    and is as good as the first day it went in.

    I agree, I had a crown a while back that didn't last too long but i have several implants and they are great and will last.

    have you decided what route your going to take?

    Implants it is, thanks for the advice. With the crowns they would have to be redone in a few years but the implants should last longer..

    what happens if you get crowns in and like 2 months down the line they come out does the dentist do them again for free or will you have to pay again?

    I need crowns on my 2 front teeth; i havent used them to eat in years because the caps are weak and just wondering would they have a longer lifespan if i didnt use them compared to teeth at the back? cheers for the help (sorry for hijacking your thread borderfox :P)
