My dentist says I need a bone graph after they remove a root from where a unstable crown was. I will be getting a partial for 3 front teeth and that space will be part of the partial. The root is healthy so why does it have to be removed?
1: As the dentestist to explain to you why a healthy tooth must be extracted. Make sure you understand the reason why before you allow the extraction.
2: Get a second opinion from another dentists. Ask a friend or relative for a recommendation.
My suggestion is you get a second opinion. I once was told I need to have 6 teeth removed and a bridge made to take the place of the missing teeth. Before they could be removed my employer changed insurance companies. I had to find a dentist who took the new insurance. When I found him his treatment plan was to fix 5 and remove one. Ten years later a second tooth was removed and replaced with an implant.
