Is it possible to remove one decayed tooth and replace it with dental bridge

Q. I had dental bridge put in 11 years ago. One of my tooth is decaying and the bridge is lose. My dentist told me that he will have to remove the whole bridge from my mouth and put in dentures. I don’t like denture. What is your advice? Is there a possibility that my dentist can remove just that one decayed tooth and replace it with dental bridge?

A. Unfortunately if the supporting teeth are decayed the bridge is no longer functional.  Your best option is dental implants.
