Can dentists make dentures with a space between the top front teeth?
Published: November 8th, 2009
My friend would like to eventually get dentures and he always liked the space between his top front teeth. Would a dentist be able to make dentures with this part of his smile which he remembers from his youth and wants to have back?
Third dentist answer. I have done this several times. The only thing to be aware of is that because there are no sensory nerves between the denture teeth as there is between natural teeth, a person could get a piece of meat or spinach caught in the gap between the 2 teeth and be unaware of it.

Yes. The lab can set them however he wants. Just remember that braces won’t pull them together again!

Your dentist should be able to do it. It would be very easy. Just ask them.

yes should take some pics to the dentist and tell him how much space you want too much is ugly also how long the front teeth you want to expose when you smile
