Could I have a dental implant?

[Phil 01]

Recently one of my lower front teeth has broken and unfortunately it needs to be removed. Because my lower teeth are crooked, the dentist recommended braces to close the gap, but could not promise this gap would be closed completely after 12 months of brace treatment.

I am not keen to wear braces for such long time. What other possibilities are there for me? Could I have a dental implant done?

Once a tooth is removed, if teeth crowding exits then orthodontic treatment to make use of that space to correct crowding is an option. However if you dont wish to undergo orthodontic treatment and wish to replace that lost tooth, you could also look at dental implants, bridges or a denture. The most natural replacement would be a dental implant.
