I Have A Gap Between My Implant And The Neighbouring Teeth. Will My Gum Grow To Fit The Gap?

February 11th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Fahey. I had a single tooth implanted at the top of my mouth at the front. My gum didn’t fill the space on the sides and between the implant and neighbouring teeth.There is a little gap that I’m not happy with. My dentist said that it will grow naturally to fill the gap and gave me some gel to use on the area.

It’s been 3 weeks now and it’s still the same. Will the gum really grow to fill the gap? If not then what other options do I have? Thank you very much. 

A.
Thank you for your question. I… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I still have a baby tooth at 19. Should I have this replaced with a dental implant?

January 5th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I am 19 but still have one of my baby teeth, to the left if my two front teeth, is this because I was born without some adult teeth or because it is still yet to come down? What would you recommend the best solution to this would be? I have before just been advised to keep the baby tooth however, I would really prefer to have an adult size tooth there instead of the baby one. I also seem to be missing the tooth to the right of my two front teeth as there is a slight gap between the teeth there (about half the size of a normal tooth but still not big enough even for a baby tooth to be there), as this gap is not big enough for another tooth to fill it yet is quite noticeable does this mean I again have no adult tooth? Would it be possible to ever fill this gap somehow or would my other teeth have to be moved closer together to get rid of the gap or even further apart in order to fit a new tooth in? If the solution for the baby tooth issue would be to get an implant how much would I be expected to pay? And if there was a solution to the gap problem how much roughly would treatment cost in total? Thanks

Is it necessary to wear temporary tooth as it is cracked and wobbly?

December 23rd, 2011
Q.
I I had a tooth removed yesterday and have had a temporary bridge put in until I go back to the dentist in May, with the view to having an implant. However, the bridge has chipped already and feels a bit wobbly. If it comes out totally, is it ok to have a gap until May or should I go back and get another temporary bridge put in? I remember when I had my last implant that the temporary bridges kept on coming out, is there anything I can do to try and make them stay in?,

It depends where the gap is ob… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Would implants be able to close my front tooth gap?

November 18th, 2011
Q.
I have a gap between my two front teeth (approx 3mm). My two front teeth are each approx 9mm wide and I was told a while ago that they are two wide to be crowned and so close the gap. Would dental implants (involving either two, or four of the front teeth) be a way of closing this gap, and if so, how long would this treatment take? Thanks,
A.

Would it be possible to replace impacted canine with implants?

August 20th, 2011
Q.
Hi this is a question concerning my 22yr old son. As a teenager he had braces for impacted canines. 1 came down and after along time he got his braces removed. Despite there being a big gap the other one didnt emerge until recently where the tip is placed just behind the 2nd tooth. He is insistent that he doesnt want braces. As the tooth tip is now broken through the gum, would extraction and a implant be an option for him?.,
A.
Possibly but removal of this t… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

If I have teeth removed is it possible to have implants at a later date?

June 4th, 2011
Q.
I have been advised to have teeth extracted after a gum infection but am distressed at the thought of being left with huge gaps between teeth. My question is if I agree to have teeth removed while I save up for implants are implants able to be used once my gums have healed and closed up? It may take me years to save up; will implants still be possible?,
