WILL THIS BRIDGE DEFINATELY NOT LAST, AND IF SO WHY DO DENTISTS USE THIS METHOd?

Q. I RECENTLY UNDERWENT EXTENSIVE COSMETIC TREATMENT OF WHICH PART OF IT WAS TO REPLACE A FRONT TOOTH THAT WAS MISSING.AT THE BEGGINING OF MY TREATMENT MY DENTIST ADVISED A THREE UNIT FIXED BRIDGE. BUT ENDED UP PUTTING IN A TWO UNIT BRIDGE WITHOUT ADVISING ME. THE FALSE TOOTH THAT REPLACES THE GAP IS NOW ATTATCHED JUST TO ONE TOOTH. I HAD A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD THIS WILL NOT LAST AND THE TOOTH SUPPORTING THE FALSE ONE IS ALREADY MOBILE. I GAVE THE SECOND OPINION TO MY DENTIST WHO HAS NOW SAID THAT I SHOULD HAVE HAD AN IMPLANT, WILL THIS BRIDGE DEFINATELY NOT LAST, AND IF SO WHY DO DENTISTS USE THIS METHOd?

A. Hi

Some dentists replace a tooth by cantilevering it of another teeth. This method can only be used in certain circumstances.

Unfortunately it is impossible for me to say how long it will last and why the dentist used this method, without looking the the mouth.
