I really think in the case of a missing tooth, you really have to consider what the condition of the neighbor teeth are. Very often with people who may not even have a filling in the neighbor tooth, I think the option that has to be considered is a dental implant. A dental implant is the closest thing to the God-given design. The patient leaves when the treatment is completed with something that is comfortable, it’s very natural, it’s much more readily cleansable than a fixed dental bridge and much more accommodating than any removable appliance could be. So I really think when someone is missing a tooth, as long as the neighbor teeth don’t warrant needing having crowns themselves which in my opinion would lead me to consider a fixed bridge, we would have people consider the dental implant above all things.
