Fake Teeth

[Mojooo]

Wy do people who have non natural teeth (i.e impkants etc) teeth go for bright white colouring? Is it because that is the only option or they just wnat really white teeth?

Normally it is quite obvious the teeth are fake. Can they not make more natural looking teeth?

They can in fact do teeth in any shade - the dentist has a colour swatch, same as for white fillings.

If you're spending thousands on new teeth, you'd want them to look nice, wouldn't you?

Yeah, I need a crown and the dentist was matching. I might bring in a sample of wallpaper so when I stand against my wall it looks like you can see through my head when I smile.

An old boy in my local who always likes to dish it out, got his comeuppance the other weekend.

The last tooth in his head had recently fallen out, so as it was Hallowe'en, the joke shop was emptied of teeth, and distributed to the regulars, ready for his arrival at the bar.

Everyone had a set, young and old alike.

For the entire lunchtime, anyone he attempted to look at or talk to just smiled back at him with funny teeth. A great wheeze.

Evil.

It were great! He'd kept thinking it was all over and done with, so wander off to try and talk to someone else who he thought was far more mature than the rest of us.

All eyes would follow him around the room, waiting and watching for him to repeat those same words time after time, "Oh feck me, not you as well!"

[RemainAllHoof]

Hehe. Shame nobody videoed it.

As said - it can be done. A friend has just had a new implanted tooth after a momentary lack of cycling talent!

They basically keep looking at shades until they find the right one. The fake can even stain and change colour over time at a similar rate to your real teeth, apparently.

There are a lot of people who want their new teeth to look 'new' and not used.

I've a fake tooth at the front due to a moment with a catapault, a ball-bearing and some ricochet as a youth. The match is so close that even dentists don't spot it until they start the detailed examination. To have a white one is either bad dentistry or somehow trying to make a point

There is a fine line between looking new and looking like an idiot!

Dentists only advise. If the patient wants it to look like someone installed a porcelain sink in their mouth, it's their choice.

I suppose it's the same idiots who think having orange skin looks good and Vajazzles are classy.

You'd be surprised.
