The ttooth either side of my two front teeth (Fang teeth ) have always slightly overlapped my front teeth and as a youngster I should have had a brace. I am now 45 and these fangs are now gradually twisting and lifting. My dentist says if it were removed, That the gap left would mean an implant that would be smaller than my actual teeth so would not be recommended. Any ideas

The base of my dentures is too thick, what can I do?
Thursday, February 24th, 20113 weeks ago I had all my remaining teeth removed and given immediate dentures. After taking into account and understanding what the dentist has told me about them, I am trouble with the dentures. Firstly the thickness of the base of the denturers are too thick, and when I have both sets in I feel like I have golf balls in my mouth, I cannot speak properly and certainly cannot eat with them, they also look too false. I understand that it takes time to get used to wearing dentures, and I put them in every morning, and try to keep them in as long as i can, in the case of getting used to wearing them, but despite them been adjusted a couple of times the problem still exists. I have spoke to the dentist that did the treatment and he told me there is no way they can be made thinner. I am currently unemployed and on the NHS, please please can you help me
