While a trip to your dentist is the ultimate solution for a permanent tooth solution, I do know of one really good solution to help fix a gap or hole in your smile to complete the look of your smile (if your missing tooth is noticeable). Go to temptooth.com. It is an at home, low cost temporary tooth replacement alternative, that allows you to make your own realistic tooth to fill in a gap and match your smile. They have lots of before and after photos to give you an idea of what it can do. The website is temptooth.com. Good luck

What will happen if a cavity in one of your upper teeth goes beyond the root canal stage?

The tooth would be pulled and you'll need a type of bridge if the tooth missing is near the front. I had one of my upper teeth (next to the eye tooth) taken out and now have a bridge there and you can't tell the difference. It's not cheap!

What are dental bridges?

If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap with one or more artificial (false) teeth. A bridge is typically made of crowns on either side of the missing tooth or teeth supporting the pontic (false tooth) and is cemented in place. The four main types of bridges are:- • Traditional fixed bridge: This bridge is the most common. It has two or more crowns and a filler tooth or teeth that are all connected. The crowns keep the bridge in place. Traditional bridges are made of metal, porcelain fused to metal, or ceramics. • Cantilever bridge: In this bridge type, the pontic connects to only one abutment tooth. This can sometimes be an option for people who have teeth on only one side of the gap. • Maryland dental bridge (resin-bonded bridge): You may have this type of bridge if you have missing front teeth. It’s made of porcelain fused to metal or ceramic teeth, supported by a framework. Wings on each side of the bridge bond to your existing teeth. • Implant supported bridge: This bridge is similar to a “traditional fixed bridge” but instead of being cemented in place to teeth, it is held in place by implants.

A single dental implant can become quite costly compared to a one-tooth bridge. With the dental implant, you are required to have surgery to do the actual implant of the post. With the bridge, all you need is an x-ray.

Your molar tooth has an abscess and it should be extracted because on that side your wisdom tooth is pushing beside the abscessed tooth Is an implant or bridge better?

You can only put a bridge on if there is a tooth on each side to support it. Therefore, a bridge cannot replace a wisdom tooth, because it's the last one on the dental arch. If you keep your wisdom tooth and you need to extract the molar right before, then you can replace that molar with a bridge. In any other case, an implant would be a better treatment.
