The Molars On My Right Side Have Been Extracted Leaving Me With A Gap in my Smile, What Can Be Done?

Q.
I have had another one of my upper molars removed around last October sometime. I have had all my wisdom teeth removed in the past due to extreme discomfort and agonising pain and all my number 3 molars were removed for braces during orthodontic treatment when I was young. I only have 1 molar on my upper jaw and on my bottom jaw I only have one molar left as well. This is all on my right side of the mouth and it is making me a little worried and distressed. The left side is all okay so it is kind of out of proportion. The main issue being when I smile you can see a small gap. Now this might not seem like such a big problem but it is starting to affect me mentally  I was wondering what the best procedure would be to replace this?

Hello. This is quite an issue for you. However not to worry there are many options to replace teeth and give you a more natural, full smile. The options to replace a tooth are: 

1. Denture 
2. Bridge 
3. Dental implant.
