I have done a search for this but have a few unanswered questions and would be really grateful if anyone who has had these could help. I knocked out my 2 front teeth in an accident when I was young and since 19 have had a bridge which is attached to the 2 teeth on either side - ie 4 'crowned' teeth and the gap bridged. It def needs re-newing 20 years on as my gums have receeded and the colour isn't that great. In fact, it has always looked really un-natural and I am very self-conscious of if. I am considering having the 4 teeth re-crowned and implants to replace the missing front teeth. I know this is a silly question, but is there any time when I would have 'gaps' if you see what I mean. Having gone through so much humiliation during my teenage years, I couldn't bear to have to walk around with no front teeth for even a day. (Sorry if this seems shallow in the light of more serious health problems) What happens when you have the implant posts put in? Do they immediately put in temporary implant teeth? Any advice really appreciated. Was originally considering just having the bridging redone but implants seem so much better and both cost a fortune.
