Q.
At the ago of 10 I sustained an injury at a swmming pool. My L central incisor was knocked out and reinserted within minutes, my R central incisor was chipped and has since been capped and my L lateral incisor was impacted into the gum and likely chipped. My current situation is that I have a cap for my R central incisor, a veneer for my L central incisor (since about age 15) and a Maryland bridge where my L lateral incisor used to be, since age 14-15.Only 1 wing remains and that is attached to my L canine, the other wing before the veneer loosened and was removed. The retained root from my L lateral incisor was also removed in 2005, at the same time I had my 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed, but has left a small gap above my bridge where the gum did not grown back fully. What options do I have available? Given my dental work is intact as it were, I wonder when is the best time to puruse this? Many thanks.,
