I have lost my four teeth from the front row in an accident.I am now 21 year old.I need a permanent replacement for my teeth.Currently i cant afford a dental implantation.So i go for a bridge.All i want to know is will this bridge lasts for a long time? Any discomforts(Shaking,Byte problems)will come? Can i replace it with a dental implantation in the future?

Fist of all by getting a bridge your Dentist will use the two teeth next to the missing as abutments, most likely they will be perfect teeth that will get adjusted to fit a crown over the teeth to hold the bridge to the missing teeth (the pontics) . to tell you the truth by the time the work is done the price you pay for the bridge will be about the same as the implants.
Now the implants will consist of two sections, so you can pay in two portions. And it takes about 6 months in between so you can save or pay the first part first and then the second part. the benefits of the implant is that you are not permanently damaging perfect teeth. Also the crowns can decay, implants don’t even though you need to maintain the health of the gums. If you need to save $$ you may ask your dr to make you a temporary flipper until you have saved enough money for your treatment.
Hope this helps !!
