Replacement of missing upper left tooth with removeable, single-tooth partial.
Before
After
When someone has a missing tooth (or teeth) the typical options are four-fold: (1) Doing nothing, (2) a fixed bridge, (3) implant(s), (4) a removeable partial. In this case, the patient wanted a single-tooth partial to replace her single missing tooth. This is an economical solution and can be quite satisfying for certain people.
