Hi there. I just have a tooth pulled (bottom. 3rd one from the rear)
and now I have a gap. What can I do to fix as I do not want to have a
gap. I heard that I can get an implant which cost many 1000s of $ or a
bridge where the front and back teeth get a crown attached to a fake
tooth in the middle. I need this to look 100% real and I am worried
about putting crown on perfectly good teeth just to hold the bridge.
How much could a bridge cost? My dentist says $1200 which is still
much money for me. Are there any other methods you recommend? Thank
you in advance for any suggestions.

If you are worried about putting crowns on perfectly good teeth just
to hold a bridge, then a single-tooth implant would be better. It
avoids altering the other teeth.
