When an upper lateral incisor is missing, there are several options for replacing the missing tooth. (The upper lateral incisor is the second tooth from the front.)

• Bridge the area
• Place an implant and a crown (There is a write-up on this procedure listed in this section - see Pegged Tooth and Implant.)
• Move the upper cuspid forward to the lateral incisor position.

The photographs below demonstrate moving the cuspid forward.
