I have gone to this dentist only because his office is a mile up the road. He has been there for five years. Very recently he abandoned that building and had a large, nice building with all new dental equipment installed. I bet he has at least six exam rooms. Anyway, I have a space between two upper teeth (near the middle) with no tooth on it thanks to popcorn. The teeth on each side seem to be strong in my opinion. I wanted a crown put on but he said , “if you were a member of my family I’d recommend an implant. A crown would come off.” Why would he say that? I know he wouldn’t do a root canal first because my old dentist, thirty minutes away, already did one. Should I go to my old dentist and ask for a permanent crown?
