A member asked:
I had 6 crowns made for my front teeth (one is missing) now i have to change it.is it better if i would have an implant for the missing tooth?

It may be: If the 6 crowns have already in place in your mouth, and the crowns and teeth have no evidence of pathology or problems, having an implant placed to restore the missing tooth may be a more favorable option than replacing crowns on the adjacent teeth with a fixed bridge. Your dentist should discuss what options are available for you after a thorough clinical and radiographic examination.

No need for implant: In the case of a new bridge, a dentist will need healthy adjacent teeth for support. If this is the case there is no need for implant.
