Can a Bridge Be Made on an Implant and Connect to a Tooth

Simply put I do not recommend connecting implant supported teeth to natural teeth. Natural teeth are connected to bone with a resilient ligament which is not the case for dental implants. This difference in resiliency could lead to many problems such as intrusion of the natural tooth or the fracturing of implant or screw components. This risk is ill advised due to other alternatives which are more reliable in replacing missing teeth. Your dentist will be able to give you the specific details as to how it applies to your circumstance!

I don't really recommend attaching an implant to a natural tooth in a bridge, even though I have done it successfully. Using a third molar as one of the abutments will increase the chance of problems. A better choice would be another single implant. A cantilever off the current implant might be a second choice.
