My son had missing front teeth can he have dental implants on NHS

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008
Q.
My 16 year old son has his front two teeth but the teeth either side of these are missing (they have never come through). As well as this all his teeth are quite small, so I am worried that bridges would not be suitable. He has a brace at the moment to keep his teeth in place. Is there anywhere that he could have Implants on the NHS?

My teeth don't show when I smile and my top tooth needs braces

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
Q.
I have two questions:
1) The tooth adjacent to my middle top two teeth is at an angle and allows air though when I trying to say ‘s’ and as a result makes it difficult for me to speak correctly. I am 42 so can this tooth be straightened with a brace or would it require a crown or are there other alternatives?2) When smiling my teeth don’t show, I think I have short gums. Can anything be done so that my teeth show when I smile? Many thanks.
