Two Missing Teeth. Space Too Small for Two Implants. Options?

I would suggest to have an implant placed and a crown with a small extension to close the space.

Hi Amanda19

Its always hard to answer these questions without doing an exam first.  But if the remaining space after one implant/crown is only going to be 3mm, it is hard to imagine why one implant cant be used to fill the whole space.  Its not that hard to make a single unit crown look like two teeth.  Perhaps the dentist will have to work with his/her lab to come up with a creative esthetic solution, but it really shouldn't be too difficult.  And the implant must be placed really well.

Of course if the teeth are poorly aligned, the treatment might require some orthodontics (Invisalign) after extraction, and prior to implant placement.
