I Am Getting An Implant After Removing A Front Tooth. What Are My Options Regarding Straight Teeth?

Thursday, September 26th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Patel, I have a front tooth which I am getting removed and I think I will also be getting an implant. I will also be getting a permanent tooth done, so that I don’t have to walk around with a flipper tooth all my life. I already have quite natural spacing in my front teeth. Which I don’t like and the dentist has now told me that there is nothing I can really do about that. My question is, what can I do to the other tooth to help take up some of that space so that my gap wouldn’t be as big or leave me with no gap at all. (I do not want to remove another tooth). Thanks, I really hope you can help me out.

After Root Canal Treatment I Get A Pain In My Mouth And A Funny Taste. Would Removing My Tooth Be The Only Option?

Friday, September 20th, 2013
Q.

I went to the dentist with pain which was going up my face and in my ear and when I bit on the tooth it hurt and felt like spongy. I also occasionally get a funny taste in my mouth. The tooth was one that I have had root treatment for last year which I had a few problems as I have a small mouth! Well that was what I was told and this was done through a crown(the crown wasn’t removed to do the treatment) When I went to the dentist today all they could say was that the tooth was decaying and couldn’t see much else wrong, basically try antibiotics to see if they would help but the only option would be to remove the tooth or retry root treatment privately for£400.00. That’s out, but would removing the tooth really be the only option? I have a fear of the dentist and I had a lot of problems with my teeth and required a LOT of treatment and I am only 46 and don’t have many of my own teeth.

Would it be possible to remove my healthy remaining front tooth and get a bridge?

Monday, August 9th, 2010
Q.
Hello, I have already had cosmetic surgery to help straighten my teeth, one front tooth was knocked out and then I had the three remaining front teeth shaped down for a crown, however I still am very unhappy with the way I look (I have an 8-10mm overbite, partly due to the fact my lower jaw needs to be brought forward) what I would like to know is, even though I know dentists don’t like doing it, if it would be possible to remove the remaining front tooth (as it’s the front tooth that’s causing the problem) & then replace this with a straighter bridge?,

This is a possibility, however… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
