2 bottom molars (18 and 19) are removed next to each other. I do not want implant. any chance that gap can be filled up without doing anything? would premolars shift there ? i m not expecting completely closing the gap but at least half? how will teeth move? Very very depressed as dr over prescribed root canal when it was not needed. chain of reactions ended me in removing those molars as root canal failed.
Answer: Socket holes will fill in with bone When teeth are removed, the socket will be left behind. A blood clot will form and the gum tissues will cover the hole, and the clot will eventually turn to bone. However, no teeth will move to replace the missing teeth, and the upper teeth may slowly descend and may even eventually touch the gum tissues where the teeth had previously been. If not getting implants, I suggest a partial denture.

Answer: Dental Implant Alternative The only option other than a dental implant would be a partial; however, partials are only intended for looks not function or bone loss prevention.

Answer: Alternatives for implants If tooth #18 and 19 are completely gone and you are not interested in implants the other two options are a 4-unit permanent bridge or a removable unilateral bridge, since one of the pillar molars would need to be a 3rd molar (wisdom tooth) this option might not be a very good idea probably the partial is the best alternative for implants in your case.

Answer: 2 bottom molars (18 and 19) were removed. I don't want an implant. Any chance that gap can be filled up without doing anything? Hello, if you don’t want do implants you can do removable prostheses to replacing the teeth miss. But I recommended you do dental implant to get better results and get it when you have enough bone to do.

Answer: Replacing back teeth Honest7213:Dr. Timmerman is correct. Your upper teeth want contact with lower teeth. If those lower teeth are missing, it's possible that your upper teeth will grow downward and create a new problem for you.
