    Hey all

    I had an infection in my tooth and it ended up shattering down one side so I not have half a jagged canine which I’m feeling very self-conscious about
    The dentist is unsure if its worth saving going down the root canal and crown with no guarantee it’ll be saved

    He gave me 3 choices
    Extract it and be left with a hole in my smile
    an implant at a cost €2000
    a dencher at a cost of €250


    Im wondering the benefits of dencher vs implant

    A Denture (I personally think Dencher is a better word...like clencher) come in and out and tends to be a bit loose. An implant is fixed into position. There are bridges also which are middle of the road cost wise.

    A denture is generally only used if you cannot afford another option, they are inferior in every way for a single tooth.
