There are times that a bridge and dental implant are interchangeable, but youll want to talk to an expert because they arent always. Dr P
yes that is probably possible if the teeth on either side of the missing tooth have strong bone support.
Generally if the teeth on either side of the extracted tooth have fillings a bridge is a good alternative to an implant.
