I have a missing tooth in the back and my dentist and I talked about getting a bridge. I can't get an implant because of bone lose. My teeth are not in great shape, but they are better. In my research it seems that bridges can cause stress on the side teeth and if anything needs to be done to the side teeth a new bridge is required. Also cleaning can be tricky and bothersome. And like I said, my teeth aren't in that great shape. It seems a partial denture would make more sense in my case. What are your thoughts?

If the teeth you are bridging to were in good shape I would recommend the bridge. If the bone loss is too great so that an implant is not an option then you have no other choices but to get the partial denture, or live without the tooth altogether.
I would get another opinion before doing anything, I mean besides ours @YA
No a dental bridge is expounded to different tooth in keeping with possibility on the two portion of the bridge. as an occasion, I knocked out my strategies-blowing front the tooth with a crowbar ( i understand, it harm) the dentist floor down the two tooth on the two section to a element and then the bridge replaced into cemented into those 2 tooth as some thing to hook up with.
