hi unfortunatly in 2003 i had an accident with my 2 lower front teeth where they got chipped?

Question

so i had crowns put in which looked false so i had them taken out and now there is just a gap, and i remember the dentist telling me at the time that if you had these removed, i wont be able to have anymore crowns or false teeth. so now there is just a gap in my front lower teeth and im just wondering if anything can be done? plus someone told me that my other teeth will come loose and fall out, is this true? and ive heard soon that scientist will be able to 'grow ' new teeth, how true is this and how far off is this? does anyone no anything about this and the details? this gap is really winding me up sometimes and its right at the front to, but i no i cant have any more crowns in, and from the way they looked last time i wouldnt want to

Answer 1

I have not seen x-rays, so I don't know what would be the best choice for you, but there are several ways to replace missing teeth. Discuss this with your dentist.

Answer 2

All you need is a couple of false teeth on a bridge so they're in there permanently. These will probably look just like the crowns. It would have been better to hang on to them in the first place. Best thing to do with crowns is to have at least 4 at the front so that all your teeth match when you wmile, although a good crown shouldnt look too false. Even if your teeth were discoloured the crown could have been made to match.

Answer 3

You need to make an appointment with a Dentist to discuss your options.

Answer 4

what i would say is see dentist and see what can be done I'm sure they could give you a brace to close the gap but you best see dentist
