Dental prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Hello!
I am missing the upper left lateral incisor. Can this tooth be replaced with a bridge attached to the canine, and is that then fixed prosthetics or can I remove it myself?
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The tooth can be replaced in two ways:
-Making a bridge or cantilever, in which the missing tooth can be supported by a crown on the canine alone.
-Placing a dental implant, which avoids preparation of the neighboring tooth.
In neither case do you remove the restoration from your mouth yourself.
Have a nice day!
