Let&#8217;s go on the assumption you have congenitally missing canine teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you will need to do is open the space up enough to ensure that you have enough space for the dental implants as well as that your bite is in the correct position.  My recommendation, at your age, is to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/invisalign.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Invisalign<\/a> for that. No one will even know you are straightening your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next thing to consider is tooth color. If you are happy with the color of your teeth, then you can skip this step. If you&#8217;re not, the time to whiten them is before you have your dental implants done, that way the porcelain crowns placed on your implants can match the right color you want for your teeth. Crowns do not whiten, so the color you make them will be permanent. If you decide to do this, your Invisalign aligners can double as teeth whitening trays. If you are in a hurry, you could do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/zoom_whitening.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom Whitening<\/a> instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it will be time for those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/dental_implants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dental implants<\/a>. Once completed, you will have a smile you love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lafayette, LA Dentists<\/a> Drs.
