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

dental implant for the replacement of fallen crown

June 18th, 2012
Q.
I have previously (5 yrs ago) had root treatment and a crown on my to second pre-molar. Last weekend the crown, which covered most of the area of the tooth, fell out. Today I visited a dentist and apparently I now don’t have enough tooth on show to have another crown (my gum has already covered over the area) the root is also not in the best condition for this. So this would mean my options are a denture, a bridge or an implant. Not keen to get a denture, the bridge I’m guessing may cause problems down the line for my other surrounding teeth. So what kind of price would I be looking at for an implant? And is this a more “permenant” solution? Many thanks.
