Losing a bottom front tooth, how will a dentist fill this gap for me? Implant or partial?

You don't say why you are losing your lower front tooth. So, if you have other missing teeth then your options are:1. Implant if enough bone.2. Cemented bridge if your adjoining teeth are strong enough.3. A removable bridge if you have other missing teeth. To replace only 1 missing tooth with a removable bridge is not all that successful.If finances are an issue, then you can bond the original tooth (if it is not decayed or broken) to the adjoining teeth. I have had this stay on for quite a few years on some patients. It is not a final fix to your problem but can work well until you are ready for one of the above options.All the best.

I personally like CEREC eMax cantilever bridges or cantilevered Maryland bridges but your dentist will personalize your treatment options also considering the health of your supporting tissue and the adjacent teeth.
