Will I need a new bridge after a root canal?

A dental bridge is an artificial tooth or teeth that are used to fill the gap created by a missing tooth or teeth. The bridge is anchored to the adjacent teeth, which are known as abutment teeth. The bridge is usually made of porcelain, metal, or a combination of both.

Hi, your old bridge is reusable if its quality is intact and can be removed without breaking. But we generally prefer to make a new bridge. Have a nice day.

There are many variables that go into this question. How long is the bridge? How many units? One of the abutment (supporting ) teeth of the bridge is compromised. Is there decay on the tooth under the bridge? Will the bridge be removed prior to the root canal procedure? If the procedure is done while the bridge is still on your teeth,, it may be difficult to remove all decay. You should plan for the possibility that a new bridge may be needed.
