Q&A: Crooked/Protruding Lateral Incisor...Crown or Tooth Implant?

by molossus, who says Life Imitates Doodles

One of my tooth Shortly Incisor (between the front incisor and canine) on the left side of my backtalk is bent.

It is annoying since it makes me stutter some times and becuse it protrudes out i have a trend to bite my tongue a lot.

i really don’t know what to do with it, i don’t reckon braces are a excellent option since it is just one tooth.

i was thought whether i must have a root canal and get a crown there instead or what in this area having a dentist do a tooth establish by re-fitting my oringinal tooth…except in a more straighter manner then the first/

???

Answer by blu_wizard
any of the two would do, implants would be just more pricey than the usual root canal and crown, both works best, you just have to shape on the price.

Answer by celtic_knotz
Both of the options you are contemplating are a bit farthest…Orthodontists do have appliances for rotating and straightening single teeth, this will take a time investment on your part,but it foliage your natural tooth in the end intact. Another less radical option is to have a veneer place on the tooth..the tooth may maybe be minimally prepped to assess the alignment,and then a thin veneer of porcelain bonded on it to make it appear straight.

Answer by nachosmyman
Celtic is aptly ^. All you need is a veneer or perhaps even just a composite veneer which would run in this area $ 100. Question your dentist. There are lot of choices. Implants are naturally only used for gone teeth in optimal circumstances and it is unlikely that you would need ortho for only one malaligned tooth.

Answer by drswansondds
your’e a modest confused…..
implants are only needed if youhave to extract the tooth. Even as they’re really excellent, nothign is a natural tooth, so you probably dont’ want it extractd.

root canals are only needed if the toot is severely decayed and/or infected. if it’s healthy, don’t get a root canal!

a veneer (as suggested above) might work, tho’ i htink your best bet (w/o considering the tooth anyway) woudl be to get a regular crown. You COUDL do the composite veneer option (mabye 150; 100 is wicked low-cost!) but the crown is more durable in the long run. course you may maybe do composite now and crown with saving up; i’ve done it that way on some those; works out fine.

Answer by Dr Matt W (Australia)
If it protrudes out a bit then orthodontics may be the best way since:
CROWN or VENEER: Chances are that the drilling necessary to straighten the tooth will come very close to the nerve since of the misalignment. You may end up causing the “nerve” to die, and end up with an root canal therapy. Certainly not a excellent thought for a unencumbered incisor – they will often break shortly in life depite a crown.
If the neck of the tooth also protrudes then the neck of the crown will also jut.
Your gumline may not harmonious when compared to the other side and a crown will not make this better.
Unencumbered incisors are tiny teeth, and cold them back for crowns can be risky.
IMPLANTS: Again, the interval for an establish in the unencumbered incisor position is tiny, and moreso if the neck of the protruding tooth is squeezed up by the adjacent teeth.
Cost would be high.
So, … get an opinion from your dentist and orthodontist in this area your options. Maybe get following opinions too.

How much does a tooth establish cost in uk? anyone had it done?

Answer by RonDans
I don’t know the cost in the UK, but I had 2 done in this area 10 being ago in the US, and they were $ 1500 each. My experience has been perfect with them, no problems of any sort. I have them checked at smallest amount yearly (via X ray), and they are in perfect shape up. Subsequent to having mine done, I did find out that (at smallest amount in the US) a much lower cost option is to go to a dental school – they all have programs to accept patients who need implants. If usual, these patients are agreed behavior by the professors and the students observe – often this is 90% less pricey than confidential behavior. Another option is to go overseas… we live in Santa fe, NM, and we go to Mexico City for all wide dental behavior. there we see a periodontist who graduated from NYU and has a masters in microbiology. His charges are substantially less what we;d pay locally, and the level of care is better than no matter what business we get here at home. If you have a lot of work to be done, it may well pay to use the web to investigate this type of option. We have many acquaintances here who go do Mexico for their dental work.
