Dentistry offers a range of solutions: temporary, long-term, and even rare auto-transplantation all tailored to patient needs and clinical feasibility.
Removable partial dentures offer a temporary, removable solution, while fixed partial dentures provide a longer-term option but require altering adjacent teeth. Implants give a permanent, non-removable solution through a screw and crown, and auto transplantation, though rare, relocates a third molar to a molar position under specialist care.
