For about 3yrs, is it still possible for me to replace them with dental implants and it still look natural and also could bone loss be a problem. I am 34yrs old. Thank you
Dental implants would be a great consideration to help support and retain your existing dentures or to replace them entirely depending on the number of implants that could be placed in your jaw. Having dentures at such a young age as you are is even more critical. Wearing dentures for many years will cause significant resorption of your jaw bone and make it difficult to wear dentures successfully as you age. Implants will not only support and retain your dentures, but prevent most of the bone loss from occurring as the denture is now supported with the implants vs. just resting on your gum tissue. Begin with a 3d image of the jaw to allow the best possible planning of the placement of implants.
I had 2 root canals &then 2 crown on my front teeth. One crown came loose and i'm being told i will need an implant on front too I'm worried it will not match the other crown as it is now 7 years old.On top of that i had veneers put on on side teeth because the two crowns looked too large next to my natural teeth. Is it possible to replace my other crown when putting in the implant? and what about the venners, can they be replaced so i can have a uniform smile?Worried and depressed, please help
My first concern is if you have had a root canal fail, be absolutely certain the other root canal has a great prognosis. The last thing you want to do is go through all of this planned treatment, and then be faced with the same problem again. My second concern would be the implant planning. I feel it should be done with a 3d image to be sure adequate bone exists and that the implant can be placed in a position where the crown will be aesthetic. The need for bone grafting can be evaluated as well. Whether you do one tooth or four is up to you and your dentist and your budget. Don't be depressed. You can still have a great smile. Its just a matter of coming up with a plan you are confident will be best for you. Good luck.
My problem is that I only have one central incisor and crowding. The other tooth never came down. I don't have any gaps or spaces either for another central incisor. I had braces when I was younger to fix some crowding. They suggested the only method to make me look normal and have two front teeth was to create a gap and bring down the tooth that never came down and then go from there. But being young I didn't want to do all that and now it really bothers me now. How can I get 2 central incisors now?
Clearly your first step should be to get the opinion(s) of an orthodontist(s) you feel comfortable with. You may need a good cosmetic dentist in the end to bring it all together for you, but orthodontics has to be where you begin. It will take time to create a great smile for you but be patient, you have many years ahead of you to enjoy the benefits.
