i just recently had one bottom front tooth replaced

Q. i’ve just recently had one bottom front tooth replaced with a denture. I’m 22 and would like to know if there are anything else to improve my tooth e.g Bridges. My dentist said my tooth was to weak and damanaged for a crown. please help

A. The options open to you are:
1. a denture
2. a bridge - either adhesive bridge( maryland) or conventional bridge
3. An implant

Of these 3 options an implant is most likely to be the best result but depends on cost and how much bone and room you have in the area where you lost your tooth
