Various: Cause for implant failure should be identified first to avoid a repeat. Options could then range from re-implantation, fixed bridgework if possible, removable prosthesis & no further treatment. First find reason for losing implants & go from there.

Reimplant.: Today, implant is the best option to replace a loss tooth and far superior to bridge in function and longevity. I suspect there is a problem of your occlusion (crossbite posteriorly or interference or lack of posterior support due to missing teeth). Poor occlusion will destroy implant to bone contact. Reimplant and reconstruct your occlusion (the way your teeth fit together upon function)!
