Several options: There are several possible options to restore the two teeth you are unfortunately missing. If the teeth adjacent to the missing teeth are healthy with healthy gums and bone supporting them a bridge is a very viable option. Another option is to have dental implants placed where the teeth are missing as long as the bone in this area is in good health. There are lesser expensive options available.

It's an option..: ... but it really depends in the condtition of the abutment teeth. Dental implants can be a viable option if you have enough bone. Your treatment plan really depends on the condition of the supporting teeth. All the best...

Bridge: Carefully concider all the options that have been presented to you.you have described a bridge to replace the very strong canine and an adjacent tooth, you would need a long span bridge or implants if you have good quality bone.

Suggest implants: You didn't mention if you had bone placed in the region at the time of the extractions. If possible, implants would be a long term better choice . Bone placed at the time of extraction or shortly after preserves the socket. A bridge or a partial denture are also used to replace missing teeth. A longer span bridge involves crowning and cutting down of adjacent teeth.

Dental Implants: The scenario that you are describing would be much better suited for two dental implants and two crowns. It is your first and best choice. Ask your dentist if you are a good candidate.

Possible: You would need to have both central incisors and both premolars involved to properly support these missing teeth. Best solution is 2 implants properly placed with 2 splinted crowns. See the Prosthodontist for evaluation of bone and spacing. Might need a graft to provide sufficient and properly located bone for the implants. Avoid the bridge if you can. Good Luck.
