Do Nothing

Broken or missing teeth do not have to be replaced.  If you are not worried about  chewing or your appearance, then you might choose to leave the missing tooth alone.  Due to the missing tooth,  adjacent teeth will shift and move and lead to further dental issues.   If you do change your mind later, the replacement options may be more difficult and will be more expensive.

Option 1: Dental Implant With Bone Grafting

Implants are the strongest and longest lasting way to replace missing teeth. They require strong bone in the missing tooth spot . If you don’t have enough bone, you may need to re-grow bone as the first step, which means trips to the specialist for bone grafting. In the end, you will probably spend $6k to $10k per tooth, and 12+ months.

Option 2: Regular Dental Implant

With good solid bone, grafting is not needed, and you can replace the missing or broken tooth with an implant.

Option 3: Bridge

A bridge is a faster option that has been available for decades. It is less expensive than an implant around $3900- $4,500. The downside of a bridge is that it is difficult to clean and can lead to future cavities or even root canal problems. If part of the bridge fails, you may lose the entire bridge; then you must consider replacing even more teeth.
