I saw all the xrays and photos in full HD color. I've seen enough of them to understand them. I can see the problems pretty clearly. Maybe one or two of the teeth might not be as bad as they appear. Got to look at them after a good cleaning. The most important issue now is that #30 tooth where the cap came off. It's on the right side and that particular tooth does the lion's share of the work. Can't wait on that. I have to have an endodontist (whatever they call them) look at it to make sure the root isn't fractured. If it is I'm looking at an implant. If it's not, I'm still looking at getting a new crown cuz the tooth is decaying on one side. Beyond that I'm looking at least one more crown, possibly more. Currently, I have only four crowns and two root canals and a smattering of fillings. I guess that's pretty normal for my age. But I will be adding to that count in the next several months. Hope I don't need an implant. That's big bucks and takes forever to do.Do get a second opinion on this one just to be sure. I had a dentist who retired and her (recent) partner took over - same one who root canaled my problem tooth. One year he rattled up an estimate close to $4K! Went to another dentist, the one I use now - he examined, and said none of it needed doing. I also think my original (the retired) dentist did a lot of "make work" that has since caused more problems.
