The only concerns with bridges are that the average lifespan of a bridge is about 15 years. So you would probably need to plan on possibly having to redo the bridge every 15 years. Every time a tooth is worked on, there is a risk of the trauma of drilling on the tooth causing the nerve to respond badly and the tooth requiring a rootcanal. Also, since a bridge connects at least 2 teeth, if anything goes wrong with one of the teeth, if may require the entire bridge to be redone. If you were to develop recurrent decay under the edge of the bridge on one tooth, it would mean cutting the enture bridge off and redoing it. A dental implant would be a much better long term option. It doesn't require the other teeth to be cut down and implants can last for more than 30 years. I have one myself, and would have never asked my boss to put a bridge in instead.<br><b>References : </b><br>registered dental assistant for 11 yrs.
