My teeth were extracted years ago how many teeth can a bridge replace?
Q. How many missing teeth can a bridge fill and can this be done many years after teeth have been extracted?
A. Dear A
Bridges can be utilised to replace large gaps as long as the teeth which will support the bridge are in good condition and have a firm foundation ie good bone support.
The length of time that the teeth have been missing is not an issue when it comes to bridgework, it is essential that your dentist takes xrays of the teeth which willl support the bridge to ensure a good foundation is present prior to constructing your bridge.
Kind regards
Dr.
