I thought you were missing the end teeth, so I was going to let you know the options for that. Anyway, you can wear a partial that fits all the way around your mouth and is removable, or you can do two 4-unit fixed bridges that do not come out. For the partial, I recommend Valplast. If you do the bridges, they have to grind down the tooth in front and tooth in back, so 32, 29, 17 and 20 will all be ground down small to fit a bridge over them. Some people prefer not to do that, because they take a chance of one or more of the teeth dying then or eventually, and others opt for the bridges. Some have problems, some don't. The initial decision is a matter of individual preference and also the Dentist will tell you his opinions on how well he thinks each will work. You can always try the partials first and see if you can live with them. When the Dentist pulled teeth, he should have given you temporary partials to wear anyway, but sadly many do not, especially non-Biologic Dentists.
