My dentist won't make my upper plate to my specs

I have to get all my remaining upper teeth removed, and get a partial. I had impressions taken of my upper and lower teeth, and yesterday I went in to pick out the tooth color I want in my upper plate. I had a nice chat with my dentist, and there were no sharp pointy objects waved in my face, and all was good. Except that I told him I wanted fangs in my upper plate, and he flatly refused. Honestly, it’s a reasonable request, don’t you think? I don’t want vampire fangs, I want cat fangs. My cats certainly seem to enjoy THEIR fangs. :smiley:

Report him to the Better Business Bureau.

He likes his

Call in the Texas Rangers; they’ll straighten him out.

Kitty fangs! I love seeing my cats yawn, because then I can see their fangs.

Really?

Lynn,

You’re serious?

Well then, they’d have to either be shorter than their neighboring teeth or so long they protrude a bit and rest on your bottom lip, right?

Looking at astro’s link, it looks like he chose the latter?

Any particular reason for the fangs, Hon?

Thanks

Q

Tell him you want to people to remember you when you smile …

or

(all together now)

“Fangs for the memory!” :smiley:

You can specify the color?

You obviously selected rainbow. Right?

I’m not sure if you’re joking or not, so I’ll just answer. No. Not really.

Hey, she is a mean old lady.

:wink:

Is there a color called “British”? :slight_smile:

Lynn, there’s nothing to stop you from going after the canines with a file once you’ve got the plate, is there? :smiley:

I’m embarrassingly easy to whoosh, just so you know.

Sheesh. Who’s paying this guy? Is he doing it for free? NO! YOU’RE the customer. If he won’t make you fangs, tell him you’ll be forced to vote with your feet (or your teeth) and go to his colleague Vlad M. Paylor and get the job done right!

:wink:

(of course, I think your request is eminently reasonable, and FAR more interesting than my main oddball dental request, involving anesthesia via ball-peen hammer. My boring ol’ dentist refused that request too. Dentists just have NO imagination :mad:)

::makes note

Heh…I have an ex-boyfriend who was wearing sleeve fangs (hollow white plastic fangs that he slipped over his real canines) and vampire contact lenses the night I met him. Those were the main reason I agreed to go out to breakfast with him and his friends after the bar closed (I was the doorman that night).

I sympathize. Hell, I wanted to talk to my dentist about diamond implants in my choppers, but he wouldn’t tell me thing one on how to do it.

Of course I wasn’t in his office, I was pestering him on a message board and didn’t want to pay anything. Still!

Honestly. Why would you become a dentist if not to outfit people with fangs of all shapes and sizes?

That would be cool! I’m sure you could get an artist to make you some caps to glue over the normal canine teeth.
