A member asked:
My canine broke years ago leaving the root in. dentist did a replacement one with a steel pin which gets loose every year and finally not put it back because the cost has accumulated. want a new permanent solution to fill the gap ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Options Vary: The solution to replacing that canine varies, depending on the condition of the adjacent teeth, the amount of bone available, and your budget. You'll need to be examined by a local dentist who will explain to you if an implant, a bridge, or a removable prosthesis is your best option and why.
