Missing 10 teeth: Your dentist would be the best place to start. He/ she should be able to offer treatment suggestions, and may also refer to an orthodontist or prosthodontist for consultation. Depending on what type of treatment you are interested in, you might want to seek consultations from several specialists.

Consult w/dentist: Speak with your dentist. Is there a cosmetic or functional problem? Ten missing teeth may not necessarily be an serious issue. The most commonly missing teeth are the four 3rd molars (usually extracted wisdom teeth ) and the lateral incisors (teeth on either side of your front two teeth usually corrected by implants and/ or orthodontics. ) find out the costs and benefits and make a decision.
