    Hi John,

    There are several solutions for replacing teeth but I would need to know a lot more detail before being able to give you options for replacement.

    On a basic level, there are 3 options:
    1. A denture or "plate" which is removable
    2. A bridge which uses the teeth either side to give a replacement option
    3. An implant, which is by far the best option where applicable

    These are all quite involved procedures and I would certainly recommend a consultation with a reputable dentist who will be able to explore these options further

    Hope this helps, if you need any more info please feel free to post more questions

    Default closing gaps between teeth

    I Guess here it depends on your problem or the reason for the gap:

    1. is it just a large space between 2 teeth or do you have a gap due to missing teeth once we know the answer to this then you can take advice from what our 2 dentists above have said.

    Again, without a consultation it is very difficult to advise what would be appropriate. There are numerous options available and we really need to see what is most appropriate for yourself

    Sorry for not being specific. The gap between my front teeth is natural one. its about half a width of my front tooth.
    hope you can give me more advise now.

    Hi John, it sounds like you have a natural space called a diastema. There are a number of solutions which range from bracework to veneers. Without a full consultation its difficult to say more

    These can either be very straight forward or quite difficult to correct, depending on position and tooth quality etc. I would recommend a consultation with a well trained cosmetic dentist for further advice

    Hope this helps

    Hi John,
    I agree with Dr Khaira, it is very difficult to give an accurate treatment plan without examination and consultation. Many cosmetic dental practices now offer free consultations so you have nothing to loose and you may be surprised at the difference they can make.

    Most dentists who offer a free cosmetic consultation arrange a meeting between yourself and their treatment coordinator. This does not include a diagnostic consult but can give you a huge amount of information and answer general questions you may have

    I would like to add that there are also a lot of practices that offer free consultations with the actual dentists.

    If you have a look at different dental practices' website, you'll be able to find out which dentists offer free consultations.

    Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information.
