I'm missing a lateral incisor (congenitally, I just never had it) - the tooth right next to your two front teeth. I was considering a dental implant, however my teeth have shifted over the years and the remaining space is too small for an implant. Does anyone know how much space you need for a dental bridge? Could they re-shape the surrounding teeth to make more room (since they need to be ground down a bit anyways?)
Dental bridge in a space too small for an implant?
Yes, they can shape the area as they make the bridge to fit. Worst case scenario, they could extract another tooth and do a bridge or 2 implants, but I don't think it would ever come to that.
