Title: Teeth
Post by: Jessica on February 26, 2018, 02:12:20 PM
I have never heard this question, but it just popped in my head.  I am going to the dentist in an hour to start the process of replacing a 40 year old dental bridge in the top front.
Is there a more female presentation of teeth I should consider?

Smiles, Jessica

Teeth aren't forever. I've seen some pretty nice dentures tho. Realistically, there ain't any noticeable differences between male teeth and female teeth. Women just tend to have whiter ones.

I've thought about implants but they are so expensive. $25 - $30k. Thinking Mexico at half price.

That's what I figured.  I'm in the chair right now bridgeless.
Looking a bit like a zombie.🧟‍♀️

Teeth are teeth, I think. There isn't usually a big difference that I've noticed. I remember a science paper some years ago recorded the length of teeth and how much the canines tend to stand out and claimed that in men canines and long teeth are more prominent but in everyday life... can't say I really saw anything to back this up.

Interesting about the canines.  The one canine unaffected by the bridge is shorter than the one on the old bridge , so they shortened new one.
