Dentist suggesting 8 tooth bridge - four pontics (false teeth) in middle, two crowns on each sides (total four newly made crowns) all put into one bridge. Am 64 yrs old (former bridge was 25 yrs old 6 tooth bridge, 4 pontics, one crown each side).
Will this be stable or have tendency to crack/break as bridge quite long? Gums poor condition - deep pockets but deep quadrant cleaning being done after bridge seated? Is this OK? Have heard entire mouth should be healthy before seating bridge. Costing approx $10 to $11,000 not including deep cleaning.
