I want to replace a missing tooth. What are the alternatives to a dental implant?

As long as you have teeth adjacent to the missing tooth and they are in good condition, you can accomplish the replacement with a fixed bridge. The biggest disadvantage of this procedure is that both adjacent teeth have to be prepared (ground down) and also it will not last as long as implant crown and it will have to be replaced.
