Should I have a tooth removed to have a bridge re-fitted?

Q.
Hello Dr Moore

I have a bridge of 4 false teeth at the front of my mouth and after 20 years the original K9 has sheared off leaving the bridge loose, I am due soon to have another denture fitted. I believe the sheared tooth will be removed and a compound used instead from the root. I was told after a second opinion within the surgery that this will only last for approx 2-3 years and I really need to consider the screw in option of which will costs me £6000 pounds of which I cannot afford. What can I do. I am seriously considering having all my teeth removed as this will be a cheaper option.

Many thanks

I wouldn’t think removing all the teeth would be best it might be better to see how it goes with the bridge first then decide if dentures are better when you really need them and have no other option
