My dentist said I have bone loss therefore a bridge is the way to go, I can afford an implant, I hate to mess with two healthy teeth (front) to get the bridge, is there any other way I could get something similar to an implant?

Ask your dentist about a Maryland Bridge. Only the backs of the teeth are prepared to accept the bridge. The bridge is held in place with two metal wings. The wings are not visible from the front.

I am a fan of implants, a bridge will affect healthy teeth nearby. I had bone implant and even a sinus lift done recently, before undergoing the implant, it is expensive and long but worth the wait. your dentist needs to send you to a specialist for the implant and he will determine if there is enough bone and what is required, mine sent me to a special X-ray lab etc to determine bone density (x-ray was $100)
