There are many options to replace a tooth.
1) Bridge - This is attatched to a neighboring tooth, does not need to be removed but may have to be replaced in future and can fall out.
2) Denture - This is an acrylic removable replacement that covers some of your palate, it can be used to replace 1 gap or more and needs to be removed at night time.
3) Implant - This is a permenant option, a titanium screw is placed into the bone and a crown is placed on top, it looks like a natural tooth and can last a long time if looked after properly

Hi,
You can replace it with a three pontic bridge. A single implant, or a single pontic removable partial.
The bridge would be permanent and would necessitate the crowning of the two teeth next to the missing tooth as the anchor part of the bridge.
A partial would be removable and have a single pontic. These can look quite natural and normally hook onto nearby teeth with small clasps.
And, a single implant and crown to replace the missing tooth, which is the most natural replacement.
Hope this helps.
Best to you,
Gellia
