Bad teeth: Make sure you consult an oral surgeon who can evaluate the bone for dental implants. Do NOT let a dentist make a "long span" bridge from the teeth at either end of the space--in this case from the lateral incisor back to the molar. Equally unfavorable would be a removable partial which (although cheaper) would be a poor choice for comfort and/or longevity.
