Hello,
There are many ways to replace missing teeth. Bridges are crowns that are joined together and cemented in your mouth. It is important to floss under your bridge to prevent decay. Partials are removable, most people hate them and usually put them in their "junk drawer". Most people do implants, it is like having your natural teeth. They are made of titanium which your body accepts without complications. Occassionally a patient may need a sinus lift or bone graft, which we do at "Dr. Joes", before we place an implant, we take an x-ray to ensure that a patient is a great candidate for an implant. If a patient smokes or is diabetic, we are very wary of placing an implant. We prescribe antibiotics days prior to surgery and also a rinse called chlorahexidine to fight antimicrobials in the mouth.
Implants are costly but worth it, we offer financing thru carecredit.

Two options. A bridge (or two) or implants. Bridges are much cheaper, but implants will last a lifetime (as long as you don't have bone loss in your jaw or gum disease).

I had 2 teeth break 2 years ago. I had 2 implants. I LOVE them. I'd had such trouble with these 2 molars. I wish I'd had them pulled a long time ago. I can eat anything. And I can smile and laugh and I'm not worried about people seeing missing teeth. Expensive. $2,500 a piece. Worth every penny.

Go see your dentist. There are all kinds of replacements available. A lot depends on what area in your mouth these teeth are missing from.
