When you get the implant and have to wait 6 months for it to connect with your bone, what do you have as a replacement? Like do you have a denture? What's the temporary replacement? :)
You can have a flipper, a bridge (attaches to the neighboring teeth) or in my case they took the old tooth, cut the root off and glued it to the teeth next to it.
In my case I did nothing since the tooth was near the back and the only time you could see it was when I opened my mouth wide.
If the tooth or lack of it will show when you smile they usually suggest a flapper or as it's sometimes refered to a flipper.
It's a fake tooth on a contoured palate that fits in the mouth. You can remove it anytime you want.
They do not do anything to the adjoining teeth. It's more like a removable retainer except it has a tooth attached. It's mostly for cosmetics. You have to be careful when eating.
Most people don't really like it but it's good when you go out.
