My cuspid / canine teeth have always seemed too pointy and sharp. I have had people tell me that I have fangs. It seems like the tooth is too long. It really make me self-conscience when I smile. Also, due to my over bite, it is the first tooth to touch the bottom teeth which leaves a gap between the back teeth. What is a solution to fixing this? Can it just be grinded down?

Hi,
I am Dr Amit ,see the best thing is go for zirconia abutments for your implants now and then on them go for zirconia all porcelain crowns of 3M-LAVA they are strong enough for posterior teeth -- i have given for some of my patients and results are good.
see the problem you are facing...
It depends on the case to case, some time the grafting is usually done in 2 -3 weeks along with the placement of the implants and some time it is delayed due to multiple reasons and done after 3-4 months, some time is done together some times its staged
The prosthesis that you have with implant support is a great option with fixed solution. However, screw fracture and porcelain chipping is one of the most common complications, that almost can`t be avoided. Nothing can last forever. And changing the screws is a common procedure. I`m not familiar...
