You can have a fixed bridge or a Vibrato bridge which allows you to move the bridge to tighten or loosen the strings.
Such case can easily be remedied using two types of replacements: a) The Fixed Bridge where cement or a screw is used, and; b) The Single Tooth Replacement.
Other treatments typically used in replacing a missing single tooth include a tooth-supported fixed bridge which lets the adjacent teeth support the cemented bridge.
