Re: Tooth Implant Question... I also have a question, heh!

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am also interested in implants. I am missing a tooth on my

right hand side, it's the one next to my front teeth (sorry I can't

remember the technical name!). My orthadontist is closing the gap to

make a complete arch of teeth. I did ask him if it would be possible

to leave a gap where the tooth should be so that I could have

something put in there later but he didnt like the idea.

Any opinions on this? I'm just curious really, if possible I'd like

to have the right sized teeth where they should be in terms of my

smile.

Yes they can make your teeth match exactally with the other's size

and color.
