Is implant a good option for me now?

Q. Hello Dr. Moore, I have a dental cantilever bridge for missing teeth for past 18 years, at first PM, 24. In order to strengthen the present alignment and for cosmetic looks I was considering an implant not available as option when I did the bridge. My bridge was very tight in contact with my canine, 23 and I feel 23 is pushing it. I did visit my dentist to help in this matter. She told me is not problem with this tight contact. Is almost 4 year from the time I had cemented this bridge, and my 23 is coming out, day by day like orthodontic pressure…and is move more frontal, now is over erupt because is not antagonist to stop, and is bone lost vertical and pocket 10mm, at mesial side of 23. What I can do?,
A. You may benefit from a implant for the tooth 24 but you will need to treat the canine tooth 23 first, perhaps with gum treatment.
