Q. Can a bridge be secured at L3 and R3 to hold L21 and R12 ? Or would an implant (or two) be required at L1 and/or R1 to give more support ?

A. A bridge can be place provided the canines are healthy and have good bone support.  These days I would recommend implant sif possible as they are likely to last longer and no damage will be done to the lower canines
