Hi,
I'm hoping that someone can advise me. Last weekend my dental bridge fell out and also some of the tooth it was attached to. The dentist re-attached it temporarily but advised me that I would need a crown on the broken tooth and recommended an implant for the missing tooth. This is pretty much outside my budget but I was wondering if the bridge could be re-attached?
