About 7yrs ago i was attacked and took a blow to the front of my mouth

Q. Hi. About 7yrs ago i was attacked and took a blow to the front of my mouth which resulted in my 2 front teeth being fractured and having to b eremoved. I have had a plate in my mouth ever since. I am now looking to have a dental bridge put in place as i cant stand having the plastic in anymore. I cant smile and even some words make the denture fall out. My dentist has said implants prob wont work now because the gum in my mouth has shrunk, so a bridge is the best option. Can you give me an idea of price for 2 front teeth and if the bridge would be better than trying implants. Many thanks

A. Implants can still be done you may just need an extra procedure to re grow the bone and gum.  implants are a much better longer lasting option than a bridge.
