What are the options while missing a tooth? 

Usually, there are 1. dental bridge, 2. dental implant, and MAYBE a denture. 

First of all, let's talk about the dental bridge. Dental bridge is trimming down the adjacent teeth to create a so-called "bridge" to carry the space of the missing tooth. 

Pros: Restore the chewing function, and esthetic (if well-made)

Cons: We have to sacrifice/trim down the 2 adjacent virgin teeth. It is harder to clean. If not cleaning properly, we might ended up missing three teeth, including the 2 good ones. 

Next video, we will talk about the option of dental implant to replace the missing tooth.
