Q. I used to have a four tooth bridge (front right 1-4)to fill spaces for missing lateral incisor and canine, but 3 years ago I lost the supporting molar and hence the bridge because of a recurring root infection in the supporting molar.Would it now be possible to recreate this bridge with one or more implants and would it require bone grafts and a sinus lift? I am 63 years old.
A. Yes, you could recreate this bridge probably using 2-3 implants. It is impossible to tell whether a graft or sinus lift is required without x-rays or a Ct scan. Let me know, I would be happy to take a look for you to give you all your options
