Can I re-use bridge or will I need to get implants?

Q. I have a 6 tooth bridge which 3 teeth hold, the bridge is 19 years old unfortunately one of the teethholding the bridge has started to hurt and my dentist thinks it has started to crumble. If I did consider implants would I have to have all the teeth holding the bridge replaced. And could I use the existing bridge on the new implants. If not what would the price be to have 3 implants and a new 6 bridge ?
A. Hi, you won’t be able to reuse theold bridge. You might not need to replace all the teeth that anchor the bridge though. It might be possible to just place implants in and around the already missing teeth as an estimate 3 implants holding 6 teeth will cost £6000-7000
