Go for an x ray or OPG for better evaluation of tooth. If they are healthy and not moving then removable partial dentures can be given. But if their is mobility in them then go for extraction first and then complete dentures can be given.
Still have queries then please consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

Hi,
It’s advisable to extract that one tooth on the upper jaw and to go for complete denture. And for the lower jaw, please attach a photo so that we can suggest a treatment plan depending on the status of teeth that are present.
For more appropriate plan , visit a near by dentist and get a complete checkup and an OPG x-ray done.
