Hey everyone,
One of my molar teeth has just fallen out, much to my dismay. This tooth had been devitalized and a ceramic crown had been applied in 2014. This was the spot of most impact in my mouth, as I chew unevenly and for a number of years only the molars actually touched each other.
I'm sure my dentist will want to fill the gap, and I would too, for aesthetical and practical reasons. I'm 40, I've at least another 40 years of chewing ahead of me... What seems like the safest material? Also, how should I go about strengthening the bone to prepare for an implant?
