Hi Bryanna,

About 15 years ago I had an upper roundhouse bridge installed. It was done in thirds. For the last couple of years, the back third has started to loosen and I avoid chewing on that side of my mouth since it is painful and I worry that the whole thing will fall out.

Six months ago I saw a prosthodontist who is on my dental plan's panel and he said that on my next appointment he would discuss a treatment plan for this part of the bridge.

My question is this: Is it better to opt for implants on this part of the bridge or should I just go ahead and replace it with new crowns as was done originally?

Also, are implants used as anchors for crowns...ie, is it possible to have say, two implants to support four crowns?

Thanks for your help.
