Yes, there are alternatives! One alternative is to support a fixed bridge, which eliminates the need for a denture. Keep in mind the cost is usually more, but bridges and implants have a closer resemblance to the feel of a person's natural teeth. Often, they can be placed without putting any surrounding teeth or gum tissue at risk. As a result, dental implants have, over the years, become the most preferred long-term replacement option for missing teeth.
