Recently I had to have a tooth extracted, and now there is a gap. The gap is not noticeable, but I know it's there. What options do I have in the gap? Bridge, partial, what options are there?

A bridge is a combination of crowns & artificial teeth that closes a gap left by a missing tooth (or teeth), restoring your smile & redistributing the workload.

Fixed partial dentures or bridgework are used to replace the space where one or more teeth have been lost. Fixed bridgework is cemented or bonded to teeth adjacent to missing teeth and can only be removed by the dentist.

Removable partial dentures,can be removed from the mouth by the patient to allow cleaning and adjustments. Removable partial bridgework can be less expensive..

Implants are high tech titanium tooth replacements that are inserted into recesses in the bone beneath the gumlines....If you are in good general & oral health, you may be an excellent candidate for dental implants -no matter what your age.

if d gap is too less, ure teeth alignment may adjust itself by d time..

I had a teacher who bought regular mouth guards and wore them while at home all the time and made sure they were super tight light suctioned to her teeth and she kept buying new ones every so often and she has NO gaps now, she couldnt afford braces and it totally worked for her. Good Luck. Also braces or dental implants or bridges.
