Anyway, on this empty space can a removable tooth be connected to the two teeth on either side. I had a 3 tooth bridge fall out many years ago and could not bear to deal with implants so a great dentist was able to do a great cosmetic 3 tooth flipper which affixes to side teeth. Some dentists can be miracle workers and many are so against implants, me for one. Hope in time it will all heal and then you can decide "what to do".

Thanks. yes the surgeon said we can put the implant in again but I do not think I want to attempt doing this again because of the pain I was in. I heard of a bridge but I did not like the fact that the adjacent two teeth have to be shaven down to accommodate the bridge. Is this the case with a 3 tooth flipper? is it removable like a regular flipper?
Now I have to see if my oral surgeon will refund me any amount for the failed implant.
