Gustavo De Oliveira, DMD · Answer

About 70% of the cases of missing teeth in adults your age are due to advanced gum disease. Patients who suffer from periodontal illness experience damage to gum tissues and erosion of the jawbone underneath the gums. When the foundational support for teeth is compromised, this results in tooth loss. In order to answer your question responsibly, your examining dentist needs to evaluate why teeth 4 and 6 were lost as well as how sturdy/healthy the teeth surrounding them are. It may be wiser to consider implants assuming you have sufficient bone mass to sustain them.
