How do i replace a missing tooth with out getting false teeth?

I would recommend an implant over a bridge. Bridges fail and then what do you do? Replace it again, what if you loose another tooth that was part of the bridge? Then you have to figure out how to replace 2 teeth. At my office we do implants every week. The only down fall is you have to wait 4-6 months after placing them for the implant to intergrate with the bone before placing a crown.How do i replace a missing tooth with out getting false teeth?
You cannot replace a missing tooth with a real grown tooth, (unless you are a 2 or 3 yr old? you have to get a false tooth or receive an implant. Speak to your dentist (Suggested)!How do i replace a missing tooth with out getting false teeth?
Options for missing teeth are:


-removable partial denture held in place with clasps


-cemented bridge (several types...ask you dentist to explain)


-dental implant





These vary dramatically in price. Implants require surgery. All require that you be taught proper plaque control to avoid complications.
a dentist can do a bridge he will cap the adjoining teeth with a false abutment and your teeth will look real and not come out for life just remember to floss under the fake and between all the others see your dentist
Ask your dentist to place a tooth implant for the missing tooth. It looks and functions like a real tooth. However, it can be very expensive.
A bridge is where they give you a false tooth conected to a crown on each side. I have one.
