I have continous 6 uppper front pontic teeth including the canines. I have dental bridges and they only use 4 abutment teeth for that 6 pontic teeth. Would that be enough?
Also how can i be sure the abutment teeth will be in good condition? How would i know if there are no leaks of food or water in my abutment teeth? I really want to preserve my abutment teeth. Thank you very much.

Bridge vs implants
I recommend placing implants and doing single crowns, and like any other major treatment you're doing you should have a good cleaning and a full evaluation to make sure that your gums are healthy remember a strong foundation is important. Placing implants helps preserve bone & doing single crowns will put less pressure & protect the abutment teeth.
