Q. I lost a tooth over 20 years ago now and did not get it replaced or anything. My other teeth are in very good contiiont but they do seem to have moved into the space slightly. Would you be able to tell me if implant can help me or I have I left it too long?
A. Hi thanks for your question.
It really depends on how much space is left for an implant to be placed and if there is enough bone to support the implant. When a tooth is lost the remaining teeth will naturally move to try and fill in the space.
A consultation with a dentist would be required and he or she would be able to advise you of the most suitable options for treatment.
I hope that this helps.
