Any dentists in the group? HELP

I'm not a dentist but years ago one of my canines broke off in a similar place because a helpful dentist had removed the nerve years previously, hence the tooth died.
I had a post and a crown fitted.
Now I think you could have an implant but that would be more expensive.

I’m not a dentist, but my mum, who is 93 had one of her front teeth break off a few weeks ago, and her dentist is doing her a crown on the NHS, she has a temporary crown in the moment, so age can’t be a barrier.

Without NHS dentists the private practitioners are given a licence to print money and I don't think they always give all the options. We were private patients with a lovely husband and wife practice and they never foisted unreasonable treatment on us. 5 years ago nearing retirement age they decided they couldn't keep up with all the computer and paperwork required and sold the practice. Two forty somethings came in and now the practice, still private, is largely promoting cosmetic dentistry. I had root canal treatment which failed, was offered another treatment but I turned down the further £800 bill and had the tooth out. Then I had a dental emergency, though not in pain and couldn't see my dentist (you have to see the one you are registered with) for 10 days as he was on holiday. Then the crown needed was delayed as he was away again. I am looking for a new practice.

So Exdancer Based on my experience I can't offer any advice.

I also have brittle bones at 75 but I have had implants done at the top, private, and a Bridget bottom on the nhs. Implant would cost around £2000 per tooth.

I’m an NHS dental patient. When I lost a tooth and wanted it replaced with an implant they referred me to a private implant clinic they had a link with, so I had the implant privately with this clinic, but kept the NHS dental practice afterwards for everything else.

Yes that how I work with my dentist. When I had the bridge done all the work was done on the NHS but I paid for an upgrade on the teeth on the bridge.

I have obtained an emergency NHS appointment tomorrow. The receptionist told me it would cost £39.
However, I see on the NHS website emergencies are classed as Band 1 and cost £23.80
Whats going on? Am I being ripped off or has she mistaken me for a private patient?

Briefly, the root may be brittle due to previous root canal work i.e. extraction of the nerve and pulp. Discuss best option with dentist .

PS as my gums have shrunk I now use denture fixative. This works well and problem is solved.

The poster JaneAinsworth was a dentist, I believe.
She used to be a regular, but I haven’t seen her for a while.
A lovely poster. Come back Jane, please!

I feel so ignorant once i'm sitting in that chair as well as vulnerable and very frightened. However, I think I have a better idea of what to expect now, thanks to you lovely peoples experiences.
It seems a post and crown will be the best option but I'll see what she advises when I get there.
The dentist I usually see has left.

A lovely young lady dentist told me I cannot have a post and crown which I thought would be my best option, all she could offer on the NHS was a plate with 1 tooth on it
