Help - missing front tooth

3 replies

BreezyCat · 02/09/2026 13:48

advanced gum disease and just amount managing to hold onto my teeth(long term think all on 4)

recovering from illnesses, so not worn my partial(top front tooth) for a week, went to pop it in this morning and there is no way it’s going! Had this a while ago and dentist managed to file down the tooth to get back in.

thing is it’s just so skinny now now sure what they can do , if it can be filed down further?

another partial they tell me can take 6 weeks to make(how they expect me to go 6 weeks)but then surely the gap will begin to close further, I can’t afford the implant root yet.

any ideas on temp solutions to keep me going a couple of months, I seriously can’t go out or into the office it’s so obvious.

Are there any denture clinics where you live? They make dentures in a few days.

See your dentist. Surely that’s the best person to advise

I would see the dentist and what they advise, they may be able to ease it in or file a bit more off
