I am a 33 year old female. I have all my teeth except 2 in the very back. I had a tooth (mandibular #24, bottom left) knocked loose 3 and a half years ago and over time as it got loser it started pushing my front gums down lower and as I was eating the other night it came right out, no pain and all intact! :( no cavity and dentist said no gum disease or gingivitis, just trauma was the cause. She said the nerve/tooth was dead which is why I didn't feel any pain(tho I never knew it was dead because it never changed color) my options were bridge or implant and having no insurance paying cash these are costly. She said I could go with a flipper ($600) my question is.. I stuck the tooth right back in socket after it fell out and it has stayed perfectly fine for 6 days now(even eat with it in lol) why can't I keep the tooth that's mine and have it somehow made to stay in with some type of bonding or cement or something? I just want to keep my OWN tooth! :(

Because it does not work like that. A Implant is a good option ( and it is your tooth, you paid for it)
