Reply:haha. all!
Reply:depends does she live in Kentucky?
Reply:chances will go lower if she loses her front two..
Reply:Depends on how her dentures look! ;)
Implants, crowns, and other work like maryland bridges can look better than the originals. Original teeth can be replaced, though this may cost a bit of money.
Reply:she can be missing her back teeth only. if the front ones are missing and she is looking for a husband she really should get dentures.

Where in France is that place that grows your missing TOOTH?
There is a place in Southern France that has a famous dental surgery (private hosipital) where you can get you missing tooth "grown" yes GROWN. They make an exact replica of it and then it is replaced. But does anyone know where?

Side Front tooth is being removed..can not be saved... I work in the public and do not want a missing tooth!!
Will the dentist have something to fill in the empty spot that day?? Or do I have to walk around witha missing tooth. Please help!!
Side Front tooth is being removed..can not be saved... I work in the public and do not want a missing tooth!!
Unless your dentist has taken impressions to make a partial or another word is flipper and that it is there waiting for you then the answer is no. You will be missing that tooth until something can be created through impressions to fill that spot.
The best alternative for you would be to get a tooth implant but they are more expensive. In some cases you can go to a dentist who can remove the tooth,put the implant in and place a tooth that day. But it takes preparation and finding the right one. I know I have immediate implants. I never went one day without teeth.
Just walking in to a dentist to have a tooth removed will leave you toothless in that spot.
Reply:You'll have a space at least for a while.
When the area stabilizes they can put in an implant.
Reply:Have you gone to another dentist for a 2nd opinion? The other teeth will shift. Did they tell you your options? It sounds as if you need a more helpful dentist.
Reply:My dentist did have a fake tooth for that day, but I had to take it out at night. Explain your fears. Try to have it done on a Friday when you won't be around people for a while, because the hole where the tooth was needs to heal and may have to have gauze on it for a while.
Hey, call the dental secretary, she probably has run into this problem many times.

Reply:If they have taken a mold of your teeth then maybe yes, but i think they might not want to put anything there until its healed, you need a week or so for it to heal and to also see that they've removed the tooth completely and that none of the root is left in their rotting. They may be able to put a small "bridge tooth" in its place that isnt permanent that will fill the place. It wont be attached to the gum, but to the tooth beside it. (i had one of those for about 2 weeks, but my dentist charged me quite a hefty bll for it.) also he wont be able to give you a tooth unless youv had a mold taken a week before so it gives them time to make a tooth. I hope this helps :-) and i hope the tooth doesnt hurt too much once its been removed! x
Reply:my sis had all her top teeth removed, and went to a few dentist.. the one she had do the work, made impressions of her teeth, and made dentures for her, before the teeth were removed. so the same day they came out, she had dentures...
not all dentist will do it that way..
she was lucky, but the healing process wasnot easy of course. but at least she had them....
Reply:yes. these can replace your missing tooth:( you can ask your dentist if you need it on the same day but u will compromise the fit of your dentures if your gums are not yet fully healed.)
a DENTAL BRIDGE- Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
A bridge is made up of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap – these two anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth – and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.
DENTURE- denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues.

Reply:some guys would. For me, to be totally honest it would depend on what other assets you brought to the table, so to speak.
Reply:I wouldn't. Not be superficial but I love nice teeth and a pretty smile so much that it wouldn't work
Reply:I guess it would depend on why she is missing one of her front teeth. It sort of shows that she doesn't care too much about her appearance I think.
Reply:Would a girl date a guy who was missing on of his front teeth? The question works both ways.
Chances are no.
Reply:I don't think I would. I mean I can look past most things if the person is right for me, but missing a front tooth would just drive me insane.

How long can you have your tooth missing before you get your implants?
I've had my tooth extracted in august of 2006 and I am still trying to scavenge for money before I get my implants. I understand that the roots start to shift if there's a missing tooth. How much longer can I wait before that starts to happen? Thanks!
How long can you have your tooth missing before you get your implants?
Of course everyone if different, but I have heard of people getting implants years after having a tooth removed.
Reply:Well, it starts soon after, but it's a slow process. Also, you may get what's called a 'knife's edge' as far as the bone goes where there hasn't been anything there and the bone starts wearing away even though the gum is still covering it.
I would possibly look into a dental school and see if they can take you in and replace it at a much lower cost than going to another dentist or orthodontist. If you can, look into this option! Hope this helps
Reply:I had 3 of my '1st molars' pulled (two from the top, one from the bottom) in February 2004. Two of the spaces are exactly the same size and there has been no shifting that I can see. The other space (one of the ones on top) has shrunk by about 1/3. I noticed the shifting within the last year. I used to be able to easily slide my finger in the space and I can't do that anymore. I wouldn't worry too much about shifting since it's only been about 5 months for you. I was recently at the dentist and he was recommending dental implants for me and he said nothing about shifting or that there was any serious problem yet.
Reply:I work in a dental office and we have done implants for patients that have had the tooth missing for 40 to 50 years. It takes time for the teeth to move. I'm not suggesting that you wait fifty years but I don't think you need to be worrying about right now. I'm glad you are getting implants. They are awesome.

Help!! Speech class with a missing tooth..?
I'm taking speech class in college starting monday, and although i'm scared of talking in front of everyone the part that is really bothering me is the fact that i have a missing tooth in the front of my mouth. I am so self conscious of it, and now i have to be scared giving a sppech and thinking of my tooth. Should I drop the class until later or just take it and get it out of the way? Can someone please help me?
Help!! Speech class with a missing tooth..?
Take the Speech class! And for your final in the class, You now have an unfair advantage over everyone else. What an unbeatable opening line to break the ice with and establish a human connection with the audience, “You probably have heard that giving a speech ranks higher on the fears in life list than dying…pause, pause, pause, let it sink in…pause, now look them straight in the eye with confidence, Smile, Imagine doing it with a tooth missing?” Smile… You got the ball rolling keep going right into the body. If humor becomes a requirement of the speech, then a small passing tooth joke towards yourself.
They will admire your guts, strength and confidence. Tell them, I thought about it, “Smiles sell toothpaste, speeches…Ideas… I have thoughts and ideas to present!”
What is the goal the instructor wants you to achieve in a speech class? If it is to get a job as a toothpaste spokesperson – drop the class, if it is to develop, and present a well thought out presentation of your unique thinking, reasoning, and feelings – Go to class.
Let the toothless actress have an attitude towards the tooth fairy – you got business to take care of.

Reply:Just take it and get it out of the way. No one paid any attention but the teacher in my college speech class anyway.
Reply:Talk about a serious topic, and you will have no need to smile. Nobody will notice the missing tooth.
Reply:hey
Reply:Don't let it stop you!!! Good luck on your speech!
Reply:You should never give up!They won't look at your missing tooth when your giving your speech.They will look at you.
Reply:You'll be alright, just jam a white chicklette where the tooth used to be.
Reply:dont let it get you down use your tooth as a tool, make it work, be confident!!!!!
Reply:hey my name is ashy ok well ummm dont wrry just act ur self
Reply:you should go to the dentist and ask them to make u a special tooth that u could put in and take out
Reply:Take it and get it out of the way. The teachers won't make fun of you they're there to help you.
Reply:The most important thing is the dental part with the repair or replacement of the missing tooth. However, don't let it bother you. Just tell them that you are in character of a person from the South or from West Virginia and they will understand. Just kidding about the south and WV
Reply:don't worry about it!
be yourself and don't look worried.... it'll be fine when you talk about something serious... they will focus on the subject more than your tooth! don't worry
and good luck!
Reply:I think you should ask for a handicap, you know , like a head start, or everyone else has to hold 5 marbles in their mouth while they speak. Do some serious practice, and I think with proper tongue control you can pretty much overcome it (audibly) then if you make a joke of it, like fighting with your tongue tied behind your back, or whatever, you should be able to get everyone on your side.
Reply:tell yo teach!
Reply:if you are self conscious of it I would say take the class at a latter time. I have a front tooth missing too, it was pulled in october and I am getting where it doesnt bother me as much, but I have what is called a flipper (false tooth) my husband says as long as I dont smile real big you cant tell about the missing tooth. I dont think people care as much and they dont notice it as much as we think.
Reply:you should get one of those tooth caps. you should have gotten it a long time ago since u are obviously conscious about it. i mean, if you aren't planning to get ur tooth fixed there's no point in dropping the class until later...because later you will still be facing this issue. i would say that if it really bothers u and u care about what these people think and YOU PLAN on getting it fixed, then take the class later if it won't affect ur grades. if u don't care about these people's opinions and u don't plan to get it fixed, then do it and try to block out the laughs and whispers....yes, i know....but people are immature and they will talk so build urself up and be prepared.
Reply:As a speech professor I always tell my students to state the obvious first %26amp; get it out of the way. Example: If you stumble %26amp; trip or fall on your way to the podium, say something like "I knew that was going to happen. I just knew it. So, now that that's out of the way, let me begin....." If you don't, then invariably someone in the audience will mention it to you as soon as you are through....as if you didn't already know. So,
confide in your audience at the beginning of your very first speech. Tell them your fears and then put it behind you. You will earn their respect, and you will never hear from them. In fact, they will begin to wonder how to confide their fear of being in front of an audience. Best of luck to you this semester.
Reply:Oh, do I ever know what you're talking about! I had four front teeth that were so bad, I never smiled. I learned to smile with my eyes, so that no one really noticed. The really bad thing was that I'm a singer, and I sing solo's in church. I practiced with my karoake in forming the words correctly, so that I wouldn't mess up the song. Then, I got my teeth fixed and thought I was on easy street. Huh! I had to learn how to sing all over again, because I wasn't used to my new teeth. It's been over a year now, since then, and I've re-learned how to sing solo's in church, and can now smile with my whole face. My suggestion to you is to practice in front of a mirror, to see what you look like as you read your speech. See if there are other ways to say the words so that the absence of your tooth isn't as noticeable. No, don't drop the class. The class will give you confidence to continue being in front of people. My chorus teacher told me that whenever doing something in front of people, just keep doing what you're doing, even if you mess up. More than likely, no one will notice, as long as you keep going. If you bring attention to your error, they WILL notice. Just do it. If your speech is done well, no one will notice your lack of a tooth. The ones that will notice aren't worthy of your concern. Those are the kinds of people that pick on someone for having too many freckles or a zit on their face. Just go for it. It will go much better than you think. %26lt;*)))%26gt;%26lt;
Reply:don't let it stop you from taking the class! it's college students, not 1st graders. College students don't really care about what people look like from the outside, but what they are in the inside. If you were to talk in front of first graders, it might be different. Go ahead and take the class and don't let anything or anyone stop you. :)

What in dentistry is it called to replace a missing tooth?
What is the term used in dentistry to replace a missing tooth? I had a root canal done on a tooth, and it was never finished, the tooth was left hollow and it recently just broke off and only a small peice up close to the gum line is broken. It is my left front tooth. It's very unattractive, and I need to get it fixed. Would this procedure be called a crown, a cap or what exactly is involved in cosmetic dentistry to replace a missing tooth? Is it expensive?
What in dentistry is it called to replace a missing tooth?
Now that the tooth is decayed you have several options
1. Crown Lengthening and crown; Since there the body (coronal portion)of the tooth is gone. You can have a procedure done to actually remove bone to expose healthy root structure(usually no more than 2mm). this procedure allows the dentist finish a crown on the health tooth structure. This procedure is destructive to bone but is usually chosen by the patient who is not ready to loose a natural tooth.
2. Bridge; You can have the tooth removed and have a bridge placed. This is an option provided that it is not the last tooth in the arch. so there has to be a tooth in the front and the back, to allow the bridge to be placed.
3. You can have tooth removed and have an implant placed. This is by far the most expensive in the short term but has the potential to cost you less in the long-term since implants don't decay. The only risk is of structural failure and bone infection (low with reasonable care). this is a great option. However prices can skyrocket if you need a bone graft. Since you had the root canal a couple of years ago chances are the bone is still pretty good in your case.
4. You can have the tooth removed and have a "flipper" made. The is a plastic partial denture, made to fill the space. This is an option if funds are limited and you need the gap filled for aesthetic purposes.
5. You can have a removable permanent denture made. This is similar to the flipper, but the design is different. It has metal bars and lots of spaced to allow the tissues to breath thus allowing it to be used long-term without harming the gums.
Prices range from $350 for a flipper, to $3500 for implant and crown.
good luck
Reply:You have some options....a crown is probablythe simplest, cheapest and most common. You can also have a bridge, an implant, or a prosthetic (removable plate).
Reply:It would be called an IMPLANT.. I am assuming that the previous tooth broke off completely.... thus, a crown would not work because it would have NOTHING to attach itself to so an implant wold have to be performed... perhaps SCREWED to the gum bone
Reply:If the root is in good condition and broken above the bone level then we insert a post and build the tooth (core) then do a crown or else extraction with an immediate implant will be the best choice.

Reply:You have some options....a crown is probablythe simplest, cheapest and most common. You can also have a bridge, an implant, or a prosthetic (removable plate).
Reply:It would be called an IMPLANT.. I am assuming that the previous tooth broke off completely.... thus, a crown would not work because it would have NOTHING to attach itself to so an implant wold have to be performed... perhaps SCREWED to the gum bone
Reply:If the root is in good condition and broken above the bone level then we insert a post and build the tooth (core) then do a crown or else extraction with an immediate implant will be the best choice.
