Would you date someone who is self-concious about their teeth?

Ok so this is very personal, but I would like honest answers. I am a 21 year old male and I had an accident when I was around 10 years old. This basically caused a front tooth to become "stuck" and 3 of the surrounding teeth to slowly die. Basically my teeth look normal for the most part. The gumline is not very pretty because it follows up where the tooth got stuck. The 3 teeth that will eventually fall out look normal however. And the tooth that was stuck has a crown so it just looks slightly bigger and longer than the other front tooth. This has obviously taken it's toll on me because before I got the tooth crowned I basically had a half tooth and I would get picked on during middle and early highschool. It is tough because I have never been able to give a genuine smile without worrying that other people would see my teeth are bad.I am in the process, however, of getting dental implants. I had to wait until now to begin treatment because I had not finished growing. But since my case is so complicated it will take anywhere from 8-16 months to get to the final result. Obviously in that time I will have to wear some sort of temporary teeth and that makes me really self conscious as the teeth often attract immediate attention, and I know a lot of people judge people based on thier teeth. i've recently met a woman who is amazing and I feel she is into me too. I really don't want to throw away this opportunity, but at the same time I could not blame her if she could not look past my teeth situation.I have thought about telling her this (she would be the only person who I would have ever told) but at the same time I know it is not fair to date someone when I am not comfortable with myself. So am I making this a bigger deal than it is? Would you personally date someone with messed up teeth? It's not like I don't take care of my mouth, I had an accident. Please only honest answer.

@Thomas680,
Why on earth do you think perfect teeth are important in your life?

@ossobucotemp,
Not perfect, but being able to have something that doesn't look fake and draw attention to it. Like I said I got bullied about my teeth so that is why I'm very sensitive about the topic.

@Thomas680,
Bullies are creeps. Get over them, learn to pay attention to yourself, and appreciate yourself. Wake up to appreciating yourself.

@ossobucotemp,
I am over bullies but it is kind if hard to undo years of damage you know? I'm just trying to see if I have been making a bigger deal out of my situation than what it actually is. But I just want to thank you for your advice I really appreciate it.

@Thomas680,
I wish you well. Just call me snaggle tooth.. I had some adjustments made in my twenties, no big deal.

I'm sort of bored by perfecto teeth, part of why I like seeing some folk's in Brit papers.

@Thomas680,
If this woman is amazing she won't care about your teeth. If she does care about your teeth let her go and be glad you dodged a bullet.
