Are Implants Necessary To Replace both Teeth #18 and #19?

October 18, 2016
Asked By:wiseacre2u in Bensenville, IL

I have recently had teeth #18 and #19 pulled. If I were to get implants, is it necessary to have both teeth replaced? I was told that if a tooth on the top does not strike tooth #18, that it is not necessary to have an implant done for that tooth. Is that true, or can there be complications down the road if I don't have an implant done for tooth #18?
