Q. HI i’m 50 years old and last november had to to have a front tooth removed to make way for a new tooth coming through, unfortunately 8 months on the new tooth has not grown much. My dentist did provide me with a palet to wear, but find it uncomfortable. I would like to know if it would be possible to have an implant to replace the lost tooth,but as there is already a small part of the new tooth visible but not fully grown, would it make it a more difficult job to do.
