Broken front tooth. Can I still replace it? (photos)

Richard Champagne, DMD, MAGD · Answer

Judging by the photograph that you attached, it looks like after the tooth came out the neighboring teeth have shifted closer together. To replace the tooth that you're missing, you typically want about  7 or 8 mm of space. If you don't currently have that, then you might need to consider orthodontically moving the teeth to create sufficient room. I hope you found this information to be helpful,Dr. Champagne

Yes, you can absolutely replace it providing there is no extreme decay.  In the photograph, the tooth looks intact and
acceptable for a new crown.  I recommend
an all porcelain crown in this case. The only thing that I have a question
about is whether the lower tooth has erupted to touch the upper tooth.  Even if it has, your dentist can handle it in
a number of ways. See your dentist right away, while you can still have this procedure!

The best way to go is to correct and make enough space for an implant , that way you will have a more even smile , and you should think further  on  the must important thing to understand here is that anterior teeth need to have a good layout on the gum so if moving this tooth distal will give you a better layout , will be determined by the orthodoncist , conbined with the implantologist.
