| Replacing missing teeth (Case #2) |

|
|
June's impacted canines were removed at a young age. This left a gap on both sides of the mouth. She had been wearing a metal frame partial denture for more than 40 years. As she wanted to get rid of her amalgams and the metal framed denture, a bridge was suggested.
The 2 teeth that will be used to support the bridge. In this case the missing tooth was not between the 2 supporting teeth, but to the one side.
After removing the amalgams it was clear that the teeth were weak, and needed to be restored with crowns. The crowns will also support the crown of the missing canine.
After placement of the bridge.
