I had my upper right 1st and 2nd molars extracted. I have no 3rd molars. The 1st molar was pulled due to a failed root canal . The 2nd molar was healthy but super erupted due to a missing lower right 2nd molar. The 1st molar was replaced with an implant.

Can I have a bridge attached to that implant?
