Is there any alternatives to a plate that covers the whole roof of my mouth

Q. I knocked my 2 front teeth out when i was 11 and a dentist filed them down and put teeth in that were on posts. I am now 38 and one of the roots cracked and have had it removed in the last couple of days.I now have a whole plate with 1 front tooth and a couple of back teeth(which never really botherd me that they were missing). The plate feels horrible is there any alternatives to a plate that covers the whole roof of my mouth. I have read about implants but they are out of the question due to the cost. Many thanks for any advice you can give.

A. Implants are an alternative but if cost is an issue you could consider a normal bridge or an adhesive bridge to avoid the need to cover the roof of the mouth.
