Some of my adult teeth didn’t come through and now I have large gaps in my smile, what can I do to fix this?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
Q.

Hello, I just require some general advice please. When I was 18 I was told I needed 3 baby teeth taken out (two at top and one right bottom, all second premolars), so I went to hospital to have them taken out. I am now 25 and the adult teeth never did come through which has led to all the teeth close by to spread out and cause enormous gaps, also I now have a large gap in my front teeth, I did have a free consultation a few years ago but I was told that to have the teeth fixed it would cost me around £3,000. Is there anything else I can do or is there a cheaper way to fix this problem? I’m really self concious about my smile. Thanks for your time.

Hi,I have a gap in my front teeth which has become very large over the last few years and I think it’s still getting bigger even now,my dentist says there’s nothing he can do with it,I find this quite upsetting because I don’t want to smile without covering my mouth,one dentist said he could put crowns on but they would look stupid because they would be too big and thick for my mouth,it’s really getting me down now. It’s really affecting my self conscious and I would like something fast acting so I can get back to normal again. Have you any suggestions please? Thank you for your time.

Will I need dentures before I am 50?

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012
Q.

Hello Dr Patel. I have had advanced gum disease for about 20 years owing to my fear of going to the dentist, previous traumatic experiences at the dentist and poor hygeine. At the age of 42 I have now fortunately overcome my fear and found a lovely gentle dentist and I am now having regular checkups and hygeine sessions. I also been referred for and have undergone peridontal treatment in the last two years, and I am maintaining good dental hygeine every day. However my degree of gum disease has led to a significant amount of bone loss. I currently have most of my teeth, but many of my upper teeth are loose and my dentist does not hold out much hope for me holding on to them long term. I have a crown on one front tooth, and a veneer on the other front tooth. My gums have receded so far that the crown peg is visible now and the tooth with the veneer is similarly receded, exposing the part of the tooth which originally would have been hidden in the gum. My other top front teeth are discoloured and gappy and I am very self conscious about my teeth. My bottom teeth are reasonably secure. I really would like some advice about what to do next. My dentist is reluctant to replace my front veneer as the tooth is already loose and he doesn’t want to disturb it further. My crown will have to be replaced shortly I think. I would like to know what the options might be for someone like me who has significant bone loss. Are implants out of the question, or am I really now facing the prospect of wearing dentures before I am 50? I would really appreciate your advice regarding my options and the possible costs involved if implants could be an option – at least for my top front teeth.

Many thanks.

Is it possible to fix the gaps in my teeth?

Thursday, June 7th, 2012
Q.

Hello I wondered if you could give me some advice. I have gaps between every one of my teeth. Is this considered unattractive? and should I get it fixed? I’m 20 years old and worried I have left it too late to fix it, I don’t really want to have braces as an adult 🙁 and also worry about the cost. My teeth have never really bothered me but when I smile on pictures they look horrible. Other than the gaps they are straight though.

Why is the Gap in my teeth becoming wider?

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011
Q.

Hi Dr Verma,
I am very depressed with my front upper teeth. I am 37 year old, and have over the year realised that my front upper teeth have started to widen apart, and the right front upper is started to move outer leave so much gap (similar to Picture 1 from your album below). the same gap have started on the lower front. My question is how to bring them together, and how much its likely to cost me for both upper and lower. I have been to my local dentist and when asked about this all they seem to say is its all age related, my gums have started to shift up which allows the teeth to move. I do get a lot of pain in the mornings as i come to realise that my tongue has probably pushed onto them, and also if i try to bite an apple i get pain straight away, please can you advise. Many thanks
