Hello,Tooth number #3 is bad and rotten and hasn''t had a crown in over 6 years on it. I want to get it removed and put a partial there. Would you be able to do a one tooth partial?

Thanks for your inquiry.  A one tooth partial is not a good way to replace a mssing tooth.  In my opinion a fixed 3 tooth bridge or a crown supported by a dental implant is the best way to solve your needs.  The fixed bridge or the dental implant is a long term solution to your dental needs.  A one tooth partial will eventually cause problems for the supporting teeth.  Please give us a call and we will be happy to help you with your problem.
