What is the easiest and less pricey way to fix a missing front tooth at dentist?

My husband front tooth was kicked out at a sport tournement when he was very young. From then he had a bridge, but it is the third time in a month that it came loose.

polyfiller, or any other cheap plastering kit. No more nails or bathroom sealant would give a softer less brittle option
Reply:he could get a new bridge or a denture. The denture is cheaper but is very difficult to wear. i would recommend the bridge to be honest.
Reply:A bridge, definately.
Reply:Depends where you live. In some countries a single implant is cheaper than a bridge, which can involve two caps.
Reply:It is concerning that the bridge is continuously coming loose.


A three unit bridge replaces one tooth with the teeth either side crowned acting as the abutments or anchors. These crowns are well cemented so I am puzzled as to why they are working loose so frequently. If your husband is still taking knocks to the mouth playing sport this would probably explain it to some extent and a mouth guard would be recommended. Otherwise I would be asking questions of your dentist.





A permanent solution would be a dental implant although this would mean the two abutment teeth would need to be re-crowned.
Reply:since he has bridge done, he should continue having a bridge because the adjacent tooth has been ground off.He should be care full not to bite any thing hard, the front teeth is mainly for aesthetics.
