Good morning tazey ? I’m by no means an expert on implants, but since you asked for honest opinions on how they look. Here’s mine. 100% honest here. I personally don’t think they look bad at all they look pretty natural to me ? And I like you don’t understand why they only provided front and no sides/back teeth but if I were to see you and not know they were implants, I wouldn’t be able to tell. However my opinion or not it’s you that has to be the one happy. They have to feel comfortable and work for you.Not great pix you can't see how much they stick out but it's hard to try+take them,honest opinions please!
I have that same front too problem due to overcrowding ? I can’t believe next week you get your crowns ?To be completely honest, they actually look very nice to me. Nice shape and size. I am not just saying that, either.
I can see the plastic/acrylic bit behind them that you are talking about and I can see how that would be difficult to get used to but it is similar to what I have with the flipper and I did eventually get used to eating with it in. It took almost a month, though. I could only manage soup for a long time.
My front tooth that was pulled was pushed forward due to overcrowding. It always felt like it stuck out, but my friends and husband told me they couldn’t tell. I think it always feels like it more to us as we can feel it. I know when I get my crowns in next week it will feel like it is sticking out again.
Yours don’t look like they are sticking out.
But they don't suit the rest of my face (not putting a full pic up) and 12 teeth just isn't normal on anyone,like I said not the best photos.To be completely honest, they actually look very nice to me. Nice shape and size. I am not just saying that, either.

But how can you act normal/smile fully when there's nothing at the sides? of course people would notice how would you not be conscious of that. Yes exactly I'm not happy at all so how can people think that's ok.Good morning tazey ? I’m by no means an expert on implants, but since you asked for honest opinions on how they look.

I agree that it would bother me to just have the 12 teeth as well. I do think the teeth look good with your mouth size/shape though. Honestly, I have friends who have big teeth and although you notice it at first, it just becomes background once you get to know them. My husband has really small teeth because he has ground them down over the years at night. He is super self conscious about them but again, when you look at someone you see their whole face and don’t focus in on just their teeth. Everyone has things they are not happy about with their looks. I dislike how crooked my teeth are, especially after suffering through three years of braces as a kid.But they don't suit the rest of my face (not putting a full pic up) and 12 teeth just isn't normal on anyone,like I said not the best photos.
Can you post your pictures in the Ask a Dentist section? I think to tag you just put the @ in front of their username.Let's just say the rest of my face is far from great so I'm not going to make it look worse+it does since friday,I can't give them a few weeks when I'm not able to eat/drink im losing weight and only 5+half stone as it is. I'd love to hear a dentists opinion on this,is there someone who could tag a few in this I don't know how too.
Hi Tazey, your front teeth look very good to me; the job is obviously not finished as I can see the unused implant posts at the back of your mouth. I am guessing that a full set of teeth will be fitted at your next appointment. I think that you said that he mentioned that they were a provisional set at a previous visit.
I have a friend who has an “all on six” set of implant supported teeth similar to yours and after he got his initial set of acrylic teeth, he had a set of zirconia teeth made and they look fantastic. Apparently zirconia is stronger and longer lasting than acrylic. Perhaps that is an option for you further down the track.
Surely he should have said that tho? I did not know there wasn't any side ones till I got home+looked,I think he mentioned the word provisional to his assistant but who knows. Doubt zirconia is on the cards I get what I'm given+just supposed to be happy with it. ?Hi Tazey, your front teeth look very good to me; the job is obviously not finished as I can see the unused implant posts at the back of your mouth.

6 bottom+6 top but still wouldn't call that "normal",I have no clue how they were put in he didn't say I'm not sure if they are my finals or what? thanks for the positive vibes I sure do need them. Still trying to get an appointment no point trekking there till we know for sure,but I do have doctors again later so not happy that I'm left hanging yet again. ?Tazey, sorry, l just realised this is a current post. I don't understand why you only have 6 teeth though, my temporary dentures from an incompetent dentist at least had 6 top and bottom. It's difficult to see from the photos, but in the last one they do look like they suit your face but it's how you feel about them that matters. Are they supported by a bar or screwed in and when do you get your final ones? It does take a while to get used to a new look... l have had 3 new looks and don't know if l'm coming or going! Have forgotten what is "normal" for me. Just know l'm sending positive vibes for a good outcome for you. xxx
