Can a dentist make a denture the same size as your other teeth to fit in in line with the rest?

Question

Ineed 1 bottom denture and this dentist told me that it will be smaller than the rest,but anything is better than a small gap so any one know any info on this would be helpful,thanks.

Answer 1

Are you getting a false tooth to replace one tooth or a whole mouth. One missing tooth is called a partial or a flipper. A denture is an entire set to replace all the missing teeth.

The tooth should be the same size and shape as the tooth that fell out so it fits the space well. A dental implant is better than a bridge that someone suggested because the teeth on each side has to be shaved down to fit the appliance which can damage those teeth. If you can get a dental implant it would look and function the same way that your tooth did before you lost it without damage to the adjacent teeth.

Answer 2

yes, bullriders have it done all the time!! no joke!

Answer 3

yes. the tooth size is limited to the size of the gap

also think about something more esthetic like maryland bridge, 3 unit bridge, or implants.
