I have no bone in my gums to have bridge is monroe procedure the best way to go?

Q. Hello, thank you for your time. I had lost my front tooth as a child. Later on they gave me a partial for my front tooth. I was told I have no bone in my gums to have a bridge. I heard of a procedure called and monroe procedure?? Where they have a tooth with metal on the sides of it and it would anchor off my other teeth. Is this the best way to go?? I cannot get bone augmentation to get a bridge. Do you have any suggestions??? THANK YOU

A. You are thinking of a Maryland Bridge. This works well if the teeth either side are in good condition. As a rule they are not too strong but if you are careful they can last a long time
