As an temporary measure if you cannot get implants right away
you may consider an interim partial denture (commonly called a 'flipper')

Can this sort of device be made to replace 2 and 4 when 3 is present (1
is gone as well)? I'm asking what are probably really dumb questions now
so I don't make the dentist laugh too hard while he's working on me.
(Implants aren't feasible, even if I were really well-off and
well-insured, and 3 is going to require pins, a crown and lot of luck).
