teeth
 

At the moment I have a gap either side where my fangs should be due to a really fuckin stupid dentist when I was a kid.
I am wanting to have implants placed in the style of small, pointy vampire fangs.
Not too extreme though, it's not like I'm likely to win a place acting in a vampire film.
Anybody have any idea where I could get that done in the UK?
Any help would be grand.
Bye for now

You should go ask a proper dentist or orthodontist about that. Ask around a few different practises in your area to find out if any of them do canine tooth replacements, or if they can guide you to someone who will. If you find one, just ask them if they're willing to give you ones that are slightly longer than normal - explain it's for aesthetic purposes.

Believe me, you're going to get tired of'em soon, because there's no way you can speak properly with those things. I talk out of experience.

i don't want actual vampire style teeth implants, just slightly pointier than the norm.
I live on the Isle of Man though and that makes it difficult to find most things that you seek, let alone new teeth.
Did you have quite long pointy fangs implanted?

Take a trip to the mainland. ;)

i dont know anyone good in the uk, but i agree with C130 you should ask around. i have 'pointy' teeth and it just takes time to get used to talking with them. you talk so long with 'normal' teeth that when you switch it is difficult for about a year or so.

This is probally nothing of importance, and it probally won't do you any good.. but, I have a friend and he like, sharpened his teeth some, but he didn't do it for the whole "vampire" look.. He was just obbsessed with pointy teeth for some reason, and that when he ate his food, it was better, I guess... Then after a while, he noticed his teeth hurting real bad..

Then he had to get some sort of cap, because he sharpened them down too much. I still laugh at him today. ..I'm nice.

Ha ha...i just think that the whole thing is far too permanent. What if you grow out of it?
I dont have a full set of adult teeth in my mouth, and its roughly the size of an average ten-year old's. And i'm scared to death of the dentist.

I do not have a top, right canine tooth... there isn't any gap, though. I was born without one, for some odd reason. And...dentists love their scary instruments way too much. It's always scary, also, when you hear another patient yell out in pain, while the drill is on. ;}

I scream, i bite, i kick. I have to take an entourage to the dentist to restrain me. I leave nail marks in the dentist's chair...I'm that afraid. And if i know I’m going to the dentist, i work myself up so badly i can hardly breathe. I start break down in the waiting room. They put pictures on the ceiling for me and make sure that i don’t have to wait for my appointment because i wig out.
It’s seriously debilitating. And embarassing. I have 18 holes in my body...and i cant handle a dentist... :(

During the years I had braces, the dentist ended up pulling eight of my baby teeth at thirteen because they weren't falling out so the adult teeth could grow in. They took the canines too. Then, due to their infite wisdom, they discovered my adult canine teeth were laying flat, practically under my nose. Not poking through or anything, just there. They decided to remove them surgically, the doctors back went out in the middle of it, and he chipped the root of another tooth, causing it to need a root canal. So, no, I don't really care for the dentist either. I never had a problem as a kid, but the whole having to lay back and have someone messing with my head is disturbing. (Haircuts aren't as bad, but they are annoying for the same reasons)

The long and the short of it is I now have no canine teeth at all. I sort of have a complex about it now. Maybe that's why I've gone as a vampire for Halloween every year I've dressed for it since then. I want my pointy teeth back, dammit!!

I am a smoker so.....
 

.... my teeth are gross.

Quit if you can or you'll be gross and stinky like me!

well, cheers for the advice from all.
I would need some sort of implants anyway due to the gap situation, so I thought I may aswell go for something a little more me.
As for Persophonex, it's okay telling me that I'll grow out of it, I don't know if you've noticed, but I happen to be the same age as you and having a gap either side of your mouth is also permanent if you fail to do anything about it, therefore I thought I'd opt for more pointy style teeth, yet not necessarily vampire teeth.
I do have to travel to the mainland to get it done. I was only wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of somewhere in the UK that would be affordable and reputable.

How permanent of an implant is it?

I'm not really familiar with the whole procedure.

I think if you're staying subtle, you'll be pleased with a little bit of unique-ness in your smile.

Nah, not too long, but still they became annoying. And, as a veggie, I didn't really _need_ them... I had them replaced about two years later. I'll have to go back, though, because I'm still missing four teeth that never grew :P I'm so used to the dentist now I usually have a hard time not falling asleep - but that might be because the dentists I go to are friends of the family and very gentle.

I think I'm probably the only person that actually wants to go to the dentist. I'm just weird like that.

Lord of the Fangs..

Removable.

Scared shitless...

Immovable.

I am blessed with straight teeth, and decent canines.

As for the sharper ones, be VERY careful, because if you're not explicit in exactly how you want it, it probably will end up how you DON'T want it.

Canines eh. Maybe a crafty vet would be able to help out?

Dental work always costs a fortune, thats why I hate it.
Anyway, I reckon gaps add character, and beauty. It's the imperfections that make people beautiful in my view.

I thought at first that you was the lady I did a set of Vampire fangs for, she also had her eye - teeth missing, which made it a bit tricky to make any dental acrylic cap s to go over them - since there was nowt there.

Iv'e always found that Birmingham Dental Hospital is a pretty helpful place + since they train dentist there, none of them have had a chance to get into any bad habits + their work is constantly monitored by the tutors,

If you like, since I live in Brum, I could make some enquireries on your behalf, or just post the contact details here, or both.

Its really up to you, hope that this might be of some help to you though

T.T.F.N.
THE LEEWIT.

i have almost straight teeth....but the ones near the canines are a bit outwards and my canines are really sharp it hurts like hell.....so i look like a vampire....well abit...but i am getting longer ones

No, your not the only one.

so your teeth are causing you problems because they are too long and pointy so you want to make them longer?

I don't suppose you could send me some contact details also? I live very near Birmingham ( Alright aaah kid aaah bin ya? ) so it wouldn't be a problem for me to get there. I am looking for something similar, not too overdone ect. Do you know if a cap/crown can be fitted on a canine that is next to a tooth, which is already covered by a crown? ( if that makes any sort of sense?)

Me too. It's funny, some people even took a step backwards when I grinned evily at something and showed teeth like a wolf. :D

I love my dentist so much that I have paid him thousands and thousands of dollars. I love going to the dentist and love getting my teeth cleaned.

Meh, I was born with teeth like a can opener. I had braces for four fucking years, and all of those years were agony. The dentist also ripped out two of my pre-molars and fucked up big time on my retainers. But, now I have straight pearly whites that I bled and agonized for.

Still hate the dentist that put the braces on me. Wish I could use her own tools on her.

Four years of braces? I'm envious. I've been wearing them for about eight years, admittedly with a few years' break in between. *arrgh* Can't wait to get rid of them next year when I'm finally getting my implants. (yay!)

WHAT??? 8 years and counting??? I can hardly believe what I'm reading! Now why on earth would you need to have braces for 8 years? I'm sorry, I'm just surprised. I thought I had it bad when all my friends only had theirs for 2 years. But good goth, 8 years? Do tell, do tell.

Well, to make a long story short, I was born with a horrible grin. Six teeth missing (including all four canines) and the rest scattered all over the place. The fact that my mother gave me a baby bottle of herbal tea every evening until I was five years old didn't do anything to make the situation better. So at the age of 10 I got braces, and a promise to get implants when I was sixteen. I waited in pain, and anticipated my 16th birthday. 6 months before I turned 16 I was told by my dentist that the government had changed the rules; I had to wait for the implant until I turned 18. Fair enough, I thought. Some time later I had my braces taken off, and was happy. I was one lazy bugger, and forgot to maintain my grin while waiting, so everything moved back to where it had been, pretty much. Back to the dentist, braces back on. My 18th came quickly, but just weeks before I had a phone call from the guy telling me the rules had been changed again - I had to wait until I turned 20. *le major sigh* Well, I was back there again a few weeks ago, and they've changed the rules _again_ (excuse me while I go and wring the necks of some officials here), so I have to wait until I turn 21 to have it done. So, that's my rather frustrating dental history...

Good goth indeed :(
Oh, I'm terribly sorry about that, Min. My dental history is awful as well. Having braces for that long must be indeed frustrating. Again, I'm sorry about that.
Goth Forever

I refused to have braces when I was 13. I needed them badly but well, If you had seen the way my face looked you would understand why I didn't want to make situations worse vis a vis the bullying.

Anyway, I ended up having them when I was 17. It wasn't too bad really. Although I did miss biting a sandwhich, I had to cut them up into tiny pieces with a knife and fork :p Everyone at college thought I was really anal about eating!

I really don't like the dentist though. I panic and sometimes thrash about a bit. I managed to work up the courage to allow the dentist to inject my gum ( I am very frightened of needles ) when I had a crown fitted a few months ago. I am proud of that :)

That must be aweful, I only had 2 years.
Unlike those of you with too few teeth, I had 4 too many! So my dentist removed 4 adult teeth, including my upper canines which were growing in front of the rest of my teeth.
Then after all that work I very nearly messed it up. Like everyone else at school I didn't wear a gum shield playing hockey (americans would say field hockey I think) and got hit in the mouth by the ball, my fault for not wearing it. Ended up with one of my teeth pointing back into my mouth. For some reason it didn't hurt that much at the time and while waiting for a lift I went and changed back into my suit lol. The dentist pushed it back and put a splint on attaching it to the teeth next to it, but apparently the root is broken in two places and the nerve could die from trauma.

Wear gum shields...

So I might end up with a implant there. Good luck finding your sharper ones, I don't think I would like to try that incase I got annoyed with them.

I inherited perfectly straight teeth, but my brother's another story. He just got braces this year; he inherited my mother's overbite. There's really no telling when he'll get them off. In addition, he had the misfortune of getting a cavity; luckily, it was only one. I have never had a cavity in my life. My parents say that it is the flouride treatments we receive; they are thankful for the improvements in dental care daily,

I have braces =] Dunno why im smiling but oh well, I think if you have gaps I would get braces instead of vampire implants xD Much more practical in the long run =]

Aw, poor Min. Oh well. Meh, sleepy.

I had four years of Braces too. I HATED it. Plus, My ortho messed up and didn't smooth out the enamel on the front of my teeth, so they got stained and they where had to brush and I now have a cavity on both my front teeth. I HATE it. I would give ANYTHING...ANYTHING, to get my teeth fixed. (OMG, to get my teeth fixed before my wedding would seriously make me brake out in tears.)


I would never get real Fangs out in. They would look silly and get annoying.

Funny... same thing happened to me, although they didn't cavity, there's two patches on both front teeth that are brighter. Something about getting punched out in a tournament and the shock made the enamel more opaque.

These days you can get it fixed fairly cheaply... worth a look.

I'd get fangs put in... but subtle ones that look like they might be a fluke, and are just a little bit longer :)
