One of my support teeth is decayed can a screw support be used instead

Q. Dear Sir.I have a bridge of 7 teeth,including 2 support teeth.One of the support teeth is decaying and about to go.Can a screw support be used for the one thats going or will it mean dentures .

A. It is possible to use implants or join an implant to the existing teeth to create a bridge for fixed teeth. Unfortunatley in most cases you will nee a new bridge made as the old one can’t be modified to accept the new implant.
