I was getting married and wanted the spaces between my front teeth fixed.
Mobility is generally caused by loss of supporting tissues like gum and bone. If the bone loss is advanced, as it seems to be in this case, saving the tooth may not be possible. However, advanced Dentistry can give you a properly fitted and beautiful temporary fixture while advanced bone grafting and Implant placement eventually replaces this tooth. A consultation with a Peridontist is necessary.
Don't Despair! Your case is not unique, I see it on a daily basis in my practice. Cases such as your must be planned carefully with laboratory ideal wax-ups to predict aesthetic and orthodontic considerations- as well as future implant placement. Achieving ideal results is not difficult with the proper planning.
Lumineers, or non-prepped veneers are restorations done with little or no tooth removal. Naturally they are going to feel thicker because they are purely an additive procedure. On patients with small teeth or spaces to be closed, they may be the procedure of choice. In situations where the teeth are larger, protrude or require a change in color or position- Traditional veneers are more appropriate. Lumineers are a good treatment alternative, but limited in the situation where they can be used. The Dentist must take in to account the additional size of the teeth, effect on the soft tissue and the final esthetic result in determining whether lumineers are the best option over laminate veneers.
It is a very significant factor that your teeth were lost at such a young age. One must assume that you had advanced and aggressive periodontal breakdown. A few steps are involved:
The most common complaint is sensitivity. This generally only lasts for 24 hours. Other than that, no other significant problems have been reported.
