CLAIM YOUR PROFILEHey there! if the tooth is shattered and its at the gum line, you really have one option- extract the root and the whole thing out. After that you have essentially four options:1) Do nothing (of course you'll have a gap there - which is not recommended)2) replace with a removable prosthesis- a flipper or removable partial denture3) fixed prosthesis- or bridge- depends on the health of the surrounding teeth4) implant- can replace the entire tooth- depends on how much bone you have in the area. Hope that helps!
