Alternative to implants
Dental Conditions Implants are often used to replace missing teeth. If you decide against implants, there are a few other options.
partial dentures
bridges
full dentures
delaying treatment
If you have some remaining teeth, a partial denture may be an appropriate alternative. A partial denture is held in place by clips or other special attachments. It can do a nice job of replacing missing teeth.
A bridge might also be a good alternative if there are teeth remaining next to the affected tooth. There are several types of bridges, but they all use the neighboring teeth as anchors.
If you now wear a denture, replacing or relining it may allow you to continue to use it.
Delaying a decision is always an alternative, although it's often not the best one. But you may decide to wait while you consider your options.
