Can a 4 Tooth Bridge Be Attached at One End to an Implant and the Other End to an Original Tooth?

Asked By:Jumper101

Can a 4 tooth bridge be attached at one end to an implant and the other end to an original tooth? I've been told that this is not possible because the original tooth can move but the implant doesn't. Is this true? I need to replace my 4 tooth bridge and I am hoping it can be reused to attach to the original tooth and the other end to a new implant that will replace a decayed tooth to which the bridge had been attached.
