[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Happened to me at age 10-front tooth and its lateral neighbor They did some kind of partial caps and then I had a root canals maybe 6 and 12 months later. I got implants at 19 which then had to be replaced after about 20 years. The good news is they look fine (though it’s obviously a serious bummer.) good luck! [/quote] Why did the implants need to be replaced? I thought they could last forever.[/quote] Apparently it’s common for them to need replacement after 20-25 years bc there is a bit of bone loss. I think the fact that I was 5th grader when the teeth died contributed to their failure too-I think it you have an adult jaw at the time of root canal any subsequent implants have a longer life. I completely understand the anxiety seeing a kid go through this (and I certainly wouldn’t wish it on anyone!) but if the worry is if the kid will have a normal smile, you can set that aside-cosmetic outcomes can be great.
