Dental consultation: Consult with your dentist. You need to possible get a tooth replacement in that area. With a ten year lapse, teeth may have moved and possible orthodontic intervention may be helpful to realigh and create a space that would be the proper parameters for a dental implant. Other options are also available, including fixed bridges and removable appliances.
