When I was younger I had to have 2 crowns placed on my two front teeth. The tooth under one of the crowns fractured and came loose and just recently fell out completely. I went to my dentist and he hesitated to cement it back in for me. He told me it would NOT be permenant and there is no way the crown would stay with a fractured tooth. I’m going in a few weeks to get the root extracted and I just got my impressions taken for a dental flipper. Since money is an issue, I don’t have any type of insurance and will not be able to afford a bridge or what i would like more; an implant any time soon in the near future, I’m going to be wearing this flipper for a good few years. I have a lot of concearns about it, and my biggest one is that people will notice that it’s fake. I’m also worried that it’s going to be loose or move when i talk, and how much it will effect my speech considering it is a front tooth. I guess I’m just looking for positive (or negative) expereinces with dental flippers for my own assurance. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
