A missing upper lateral incisor can be managed in several ways, and the best option depends on your age, tooth position, bite and long-term goals.

Treatment possibilities

Options may include orthodontic space closure, a bonded bridge, a conventional restoration or an implant once growth and other factors make that suitable.

Planning for the long term

Your dentist considers aesthetics, gum shape, available bone and neighbouring teeth. Some patients benefit from coordinated input across orthodontic and restorative care.

Practical steps to remember

  • Discuss the impact of age and ongoing growth
  • Compare conservative options
  • Request an integrated long-term treatment plan
