More info needed...: There are two types of prosthetic teeth: either fixed or removable. Fixed prosthetic teeth are supported by your own teeth or by implants. Removable teeth can also be supported by your own teeth or implants, or can be fabricated for an arch with no teeth whatsoever. Hard to tell you what would work best in your mouth without radiographs and an examination.

Prosthodontist: Consult with the best prosthodontist in your local area. Consult 2 or even 3 until you find someone whom you trust ; their advice makes sense. A general dentist depending upon their training ; experience may serve you equally well. Have them go over all your options based upon exam, x-rays, models, finances, goals, etc. Until you understand your options ; what is best for you! implants best option.

Options to implants: Depending on the condition of your remaining dentition there may be other alternatives. You would have to discuss this with your dentist. His diagnosis and recommendations will depend on many factors which will include x ray studies and examination. There really isn't enough information in your question to give a definitive answer to your question. Good luck

Options, yes: Depending on what teeth are missing and the location and condition of the adjacent teeth, you have options. These include a fixed bridge, and a removable partial denture. Typically neither are as good as an implant and neither will last as long. However, there are millions of people with them who are doing just fine. See a Prosthodontist for evaluation/ options specifically for you.Good Luck
