Dental implant for gap where no permanent tooth came through?
Q. When one of baby teeth fell out no permanent tooth came through to close the gap. Now the gap has closed somewhat and I am 17 but really wanto to fill the gap that is ruining my smile. Would dental implants be a good way to go? I think I may need to get braces or something to widen the gap a bit – can this be done?
A. hi many thanks for your email, it may be necessary to get a brace to create enough room to have an implant placed. my advice would be to go to a cosmetic dentist which offers both orthodontic treatment and implant treatment.
