Hello,
If a gap is the size of a full tooth, your replacement considerations include a fixed bridge, a removeable denture or implant. If your gap is less than a size of a tooth, you can consider a veneer with porcelain or bonding material. This would usually need to involve at least two adjacent teeth and would provide greater esthetics if more teeth are involved. If possible, bonding would most likely be the least expensive option.
Orthodontic treatment would require braces to move teeth into improved placement. This would be the best choice especially if no restorations were needed after the movement and your bite would benefit by being stabilized.
Usually, the more teeth involved, the greater the expense when considering caps, crowns or veneers. More diagnostic information would be needed to evaluate if you could consider less teeth involved for your treatment. Your bone support is a factor in this decision.
Implants are a good consideration for a single tooth replacement when the other teeth are in good condition. This requires multiple steps, is costly and requires a period of healing. Something removable often offers a less expensive option for tooth replacement. There is a single cost per top and bottom, not per tooth. This is considered when you want to reduce costs, multiple teeth are missing and you do not mind taking the appliance out of your mouth daily.
I hope you find my suggestions helpful. I encourage you to discuss this with your dentist to determine your best option. Consider a second opinion with all your records present to compare treatment suggestions and expenses. Thank you for your inquiry

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The gap can be closed by two ways, one is by giving crown and other way is by orthodontic treatment.
For crowns or bridge, you need to cut or prepare all the six teeth in the upper and lower arch, over that the crowns will come. but if something happens in future, then the teeth has to go for RCT and crowns has to be repeated. to prevent this RCT has to be done to all teeth intentionally so it will become to costly. i suggest you, not to go for bridge.
The other way of closing the gap is by orthodontic treatment. But for this you need to have good bone support in all the teeth, consult a good orthodontist and take a opinion.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
