Can I have just one implant to replace two missing teeth?

December 28th, 2012
Q.

I am a 65 year old male and have had crowns fitted to both top centre front teeth for the last forty years, with fairly regular failures and re-fits. I have been told by my dentist that future re-crowns would not be possible, he suggested implants. My question is. Could one single implant support my two top centre front teeth? At present both teeth are crowned, but one crown had broken off (made my own temp repair with super glue).
If two adjacent teeth are fixed to on implant, would the implant be central to the gap, and would this be as sound as having two independent implants?
Regards, David

Should I get a Maryland or cantilever bridge and how long would they last?

October 9th, 2011
Q.
Good afternoon, I recently had a front tooth (post crown) removed due to an infection, i also lost a lot of bone at the same time. ive worn a denture for 6mths and its healed well but im not sure which bridge is more suitable for me (i cannot stand the idea of an implant as i would prob need a bone graft and also it would mean another 12mths for healing) i waver to the maryland as is less invasive, but feel the cantilever may give me a better look and last longer (although my teeth at either side are 100% fine and this bothers me to mess. which bridge do you feel to be the better in looks, feel & how long they last? im so desperate to get my smile back! thank you so much ,
