You  have varied options from most conventional treatment to advanced i.e. from removable appliance to fixed (bridge or an implant). So it's better to visit a dentist to know wut suits u better. Lot of things needs to be evaluated to do bridge or an implant work like status of adjacent teeth,  residual bone..etc?? So it's better to visit your dentist

Bridges can only be done in case of teeth missing in between. If the last teeth are missing then the only option is implants. average life span of metal ceramic bridges will be around 5-10 yrs.
