Should I have to pay for a flipper and an implant if my recently put in crown po!


Question: Should I have to pay for a flipper and an implant if my recently put in crown popped off for no reason at all?
I had a crown put in six months ago in one of my front teeth and last week it popped off for absolutely no reason. I didn't swallow it and in fact went to the dentist immediately to have them re cement it. When I got there they told me that it could not be re cemented because there was nothing to cement it to anymore. They then told me I had to get a flipper to cover the gap until I could pay for either a 3 bridge unit or an implant, both being way more expensive then my crown did. I cried! A lot!! I knew I couldn't pay for either at the moment and then got really mad thinking to myself "crowns should defiantly last longer than six months and if for some reason it does break off in that short amount of time I should most defiantly not have to pay out of pocket to fix it." The dentist is trying to tell me otherwise... What should I do? Is there anything I can do? I would really appreciate if someone could lend me some advise:)

SEE THE ORIGINAL DENTIST AND RESOLVE THIS CASE



It is hard to say anything because i don't know condition and don't see your x-ray and ...(hard to diagnose) .
Maybe you have some damage In root of tooth and doctor cannot recement it or some other conditions. If root is in good condition you can use post and core (it depend on your root condition) . If no, you have to do bridge or implant (if it is needed to extract remained root) . Anyway as i told, it is hard to diagnose , try to go some other dentist and get their advices, if you want , you can contact me in messenger and send me xray pis, i will help you armintavana_t@yahoo.com
