Dr. Hall,
\nI was born without a #7 incisor and my #10 is deformed and slightly recessed. After having braces (10 years ago) I was given a dental flipper to fill the #7 space. What sort of device would you recommend as a permanent solution for these teeth and also can you please recommend a cosmetic dentist in my area? Thank you.

Jessica,
\nThe teeth next to your missing tooth are probably completely healthy. I’m guessing here, but it seems that you’re young and you’re not giving me reason to think otherwise. In those situations, I strongly recommend dental implants<\/a>. Otherwise you have to attach a dental bridge<\/a> to the two adjacent teeth and to do that you have to prepare those teeth, which seems a shame when there’s nothing wrong with them.<\/p>\n

For the deformed tooth, a porcelain veneer<\/a> or an all-porcelain crown<\/a> would be best, depending on the shape of the tooth.<\/p>\n

The trick will be getting the implant and the porcelain veneer or crown to match, since they’re made very differently. A skilled artist\/dentist can do this and do it well, but the overwhelming majority of dentists would have a lot of difficulty with this. I’m not sure you have anyone<\/em> in your corner of Ohio who can do this. It may be worth your while to travel to Detroit to have this procedure done. Yes, it’s an hour and a half trip each way, but you’ll only have to do it a few times, and then you’ll have a lovely smile. After that you can go back to your family dentist.
\n– Dr. Hall<\/p>\n
