Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.
Your tooth can be restored. There are so many ways for the same.
If you will provide me few details, I will be in better position to guide you.
1. Do you have any pain /swelling in the same tooth.
2. Do you have any x-ray for the same tooth? If yes, please upload reports using the ‘Upload your reports’ section on the right?
3. Is this tooth in your upper jaw or in your lower jaw?
Awaiting for your reply.
