My dentist says bridges may cause infection is this true?

Q. My regular dentist does not agree with brdges—he says they put more strain on the surrounding teeth and should infection occur then the whole bridge mudt be destroyed to eliminate the infection. I have a tooth missing which can only be rectfied by a bridge –which other dentists seem happy to provide—should I go for this??

A. Implants have a longer success rate usually but bridges can work very well if properly done
