THERE ARE SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR THIS SITUATION. THE CHEAPEST IS A REMOVABLE FLIPPER (CALLED AN INTERIM PARTIAL DENTURE), YOU CAN'T CHEW ON THIS AND IT'SNOT MEANT TO LAST FOREVER. ANOTHER MORE PERMANENT OPTION IS A REMOVABLE PARTIAL, THEN A BRIDGE (WHICH MAY BE A MARYLAND OR TRADITIONAL ONE) BOTH HAVING ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES. ANOTHER CHOICE IS AN IMPLANT.

A removable partial denture is called spoon denture in this area.. but if u can get an implant to replace that tooth that would be the best treatment.

Your primary concern, which is more a 'desire', seem to improve the esthetics of your smile than any urgent need for a jaw surgery. You have not mentioned anything about having consulted any maxillofacial surgeon for real options from the angle of existence of a bridge in your oral region. Pulling 12 of your original teeth to fullfil your desire may not be the best of options. Orthognathic surgery may still be a better option in comparison. It would be only in the consult with an oral surgeon that you would know you require surgery in one jaw or both. The cost factor (range $15-25K) is equally important as I doubt insurance will give you any coverage as the surgery involved is of cosmetic nature. However, make more internet searches to find out who is offering affordable and best deal cosmetic orthognathic surgery options.

You can get tooth replaced by a flipper thats an acrylic partial replacing the front tooth. A bridge also can replace this tooth-it is a permanent replacement.

Flipper, partial, partial denture, these are all removable. Permanent are Maryland bridge, bridge or implant. Pick one!
