My dentist will not remove my upper tooth that crosses over another. I hate smiling! What can I do?

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010
Q.
One of my upper front teeth crosses over the other and I hate smiling!! When I spoke to my dentist he said there is nothing he can do with it and refuses to take it out and replace it with an implant. What could I expect to pay for an implant and a whitening treatment to the rest of my teeth from yourselves (or is this not possible?),

I have a gag reflex and am consequently scared of dentures. Is there any other option?

Friday, October 29th, 2010
Q.
My dentist has recommended that I have my five front teeth removed at the top and 3 at the bottom and have partial dentures. I would like to have a bridge but as I have protruding teeth he said that the bridge would also protrude. I have a bad gag reflex and am terrified of having dentures and not being able to cope. Please help.,

There is a gap between my implant bridge and gums, and food is getting stuck there. Is this normal?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010
Q.
Hello. I have just had dental implants fitted and also a bridge (two implants with three crowns). there is a gap between my gum and the teeth (where my bridge is)which looks quite odd and food is already getting stuck there. Is this normal? I did question the dentist who said that is fine. I had implants put in to disguise the gaps – although I will be able to eat better I am concerned about the appearance because of the gap between the teeth and the gum. Is this normal? Many thanks,

Would leaving my missing tooth untreated affect the alignment of my teeth?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have just had my top furthest back tooth extracted and after doing some research I am worried that this will affect my alignment etc if I leave it missing. What is best, to leave it or to have an implant? Do they do this on the NHS? I am 29 and also do not want it to affect my speech. Many thanks,
