Q.
I had a front tooth out 10 years ago and had a bridge across the front 4 teath. The 3 teath that hold the bridge have had to have pins put in them to hold the bridge. I want to have an implant put in the missing tooth, however the bone has receded to the point where there is a fairly noticeable shallowness oif the gum and that means that the top of the tooth (on the bridge ) potrudes out a little and to get rid of that by sinking it to the gum would not look right. 1/ how can the gum be brought back out where the tooth has gone so my gums look like they did when I had all my teath, and also, what would I need to do with the other 3 teath to have stand alone teath at the front again? thank you for your help.,
