In Dental Bridges, Can 4 Abutment Teeth Be Enough for 6 Pontic Teeth?
caretMay 6, 2011
I have continous 6 front pontic teeth including the canines. I still have 6 molars left. I had dental bridges and only have 4 abutment teeth for that 6 pontic teeth. Would that be enough? Will my 4 abutment teeth remain healthy? Also what should be done to keep the abutment teeth in good condition? How can i be sure there would be no leaks for food or water inside? Thank you very much.
