Unlikely: Unlikely with just a cuspid. Discuss denture, overdenture, implants with dentist.

See DDS: Discuss with your general dentist for a definitive treatment plan, two canines or one? Probably, an implant supported prosthesis would be an option, get a well defined treatment plan prior to the extractions.

Tooth replacement: Next to natural teeth, implant supported tooth replacement is the gold standard. There are many types of options in this category although they take the most time and are the most expensive, but most like your own teeth. Removable dentures would be the alternative. You would need more of your own teeth to support a fixed bridge. Discuss with your own dentist and/or see a Prosthodontist for consult
