My two front teeth?
THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS FOR THIS TYPE OF INJURY OR SITUATION. IF IT JUST HAPPENED, CALL THE DENTIST'S OFFICE AND HAVE HIM/HER OR THE COVERING DOC SEE YOU ON AN EMERGENCY.





THE REPLACEMENT OPTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:





IMPLANTS- THE CLOSEST THING TO NATURAL TEETH. THEY ARE TITANIUM POST PLACED INTO THE JAW AND CROWNS PLACED ON THEM. TAKES TIME FOR HEALING.





A BRIDGE OR FIXED PARTIAL DENTURE- THE TEETH ARE CROWNED ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SPACE, THE WHOLE THING IS 4-6 CROWNS AND CEMENTED PERMANENTLY AS A SINGLE UNIT.





MARYLAND BRIDGE- THE TEETH ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SPACE HAVE A BONDED BACKING PLACED ON THEM AND THE REPLACEMENT TEETH ARE ON THIS.





REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURE- A SET OF REPLACEMENT TEETH THAT YOU TAKE IN AND OUT .





YOUR DENTIST CAN HELP YOU DECIDE WHICH OPTION IS BEST FOR YOU.
Reply:for sure you will be able to fix them - this is 2007 ! you have no idea how many options are available for you - im sure your doctor will go through all of them ... a lady at my work had this happen to her - and she nows has false teeth in the front -- you cant even tell.








dont worry im sure you will be fine.
Reply:If the roots are still there they will probably put in a post and crown, if they are missing or badly damaged they will put in a bridge with 2 false teeth fastened by crowns to the teeth beside it, or a plate with two false teeth attatched to it. If you have the bucks they can always do an implant with two crowns. Any way the teeth will be false.
Reply:I have a bridge. Looks and feels so natural, I forget they aren't really teeth. Don't worry at all... your new teeth will probably look better than the ones you lost. It's amazing what they can now. And no... it won't hurt.
Reply:Doesn't answer the question but something nice to know. Medical insurance will usually cover treatments due to an accident. It's a pain and you'll have to probably fight for it but it will be worth the reimbursement. Make sure you document everything for reference, you may need to send info to them. Tell every dentist doing the work it was caused from an accident so they can document it in their records. Finally, try to find something from the accident(medical records, insurance claims) that states the tooth issue was the result of it.
