Missing tooth?
When a person is missing #18, the only options to replace the space in a implant or a partial. A partial is only a good option if you are missing teeth on the other side #30 or #31 in your case. A partial will rock back and forth if it is not even on both sides. I'm sure you already know that doing an implant is pretty spendy, but it is your best option. Also if you haven't had your wisdom teeth removed there is a possibility that tooth could erupt into #18 place. Lastly you could just leave the space as is. You may become custom to the space and learn how to function without a tooth there. Good luck!
Reply:That's not good. How long has it been missing? That could influence what you could do with a tooth replacement. You can get a partial denture. A partial might not look or feel the best, but, if you get a partial the other teeth will not begin to shift out of place. Since this tooth is a 2nd molar; people will not be able to see it missing. Also, partials have also changed, they are not all metal anymore. Good luck in what ever you choose to do!
Reply:first off justin r - a 18 is a third molar not a second one - you should consult with your local dentist to seek his recommendation as a different alternatives suit specific cases
