They're a Chinese company with an address in Manchester so to be honest I would give it a miss.

I can't remember what it was but I once bought something from what claimed to be a British company that turned out to be a Chinese company. The product looked like the picture but was rubbishy bits of plastic that did nothing. Fortunately not expensive though.

OP share your dilemmas.. I'm in the process of having upper molar extractions...haven't been able to eat on right side for nearly 9 months...had one molar removed last week and it was soo bloody and painful...the molar next to it has to be removed also in September...feels like the right side of my face is falling in...
Have not hears of 'beads' so will do some research...

That's cheered me up a bit FoghornLeghorn, thank you.
All the same I wonder if anyone has tried these beads and can give an unbiased answer? I've spent the best part of this morning searching the Internet and these beads crop up time and again as a temporary solution.
They cost about £5, which is a drop in the ocean taking into account the hundreds of £s I'll be shelling out for fixing this gap, but as an interim measure they seem worth it.

A friend of mine has had exactly the same happen to her. Her dentist has given her a temporary bridge to replace her two lost front teeth. It’s purely cosmetic and she can’t eat with it in so it’s removable but at least she can leave the house without feeling self-conscious. She intends to have implants so this is a stop gap. Could you ask your dentist for something similar until you can get them done permanently?

There’s nothing vain about it ExDancer. When I was young I’d have nightmares about my teeth falling out. I do hope you get your bridge or denture sorted soon. I have a tiny denture with one tooth - it helps to improve my smile!

The verified purchase reviews are not good.
A lot of 5 star reviews are often fake, the companies get staff to review!

Has anyone tried these?
Two of my front teeth (my canine and the one next to it) have broken off at the gum. This looks like a possible temporary solution until I can get the roots extracted (ouch) and a bridge or denture made.
Comments - yes I know I'm a vain old lady, but I could cry, I look so dreadful.
