303- 98-ORTHO

Let us know if we can help.

Thanks for submitting this case. As you can see from some of the other posts, there are lots of variables at work here. In order to accurately provide a cost estimate or diagnosis, I''''d like to evaluate the X-ray with you to show you where the concerns are (and what things you DON''''T have to be concerned with, too) and then I''''d like to do some testing on that particular tooth, see if the nerve has been involved, see where the crack is, see if it''''s sensitive to cold or hot or pressure or biting or tapping, etc and to see what the condition is of the rest of the tooth that''''s still intact. Once we have all of the information, we could talk about all of the different options for your tooth. Maybe you don''''t want to save it at all, or maybe we can save it with just a filling, or maybe it would indeed require a crown or root canal/crown combo, maybe a buildup...the list goes on and on. There are even many teeth that we see in our office that have small chips out of them that we recommend not fixing at all. Financially, the choice is yours. I''''d love to evaluate this some more with you and come to an idea of what your goals are, and then do our best to meet those goals. Sometimes the most expensive treatment isn''''t necessarily the best treatment. You can email me at drcraig@summerbrookdental.com or you can call our office (we''''re closed today, but open Tues & Wed) at 303-693-1215. You can also reach me on my cell at 720-277-5446 if you want to talk more! Thanks! -Jim
