my lower front jaw teeth are missing

Q. Please one of the lower jaw front teeth missing long time ago i had abridge fitted to cover the gap .Now because the gum start to shrink down i want to replace the whole thing is it better to replace the bridge with new one or i go for imlpant or veneers thanks alot

A. Without examining you it is difficult to give you correct advice.  I would assess the aesthetics of the area and decide whether a bridge or an implant would be the best option.  Also the health of the supporting teeth may make an implant the better option.  A full examination would be necessary to give you a long term treatment plan.
