A member asked:
Can a fixed implant bridge have 1 pontic?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Pontic: Pontic is a false tooth suspended between 2 restored natural teeth or 2 capped implants. The appropriate restorations to replace 1 or more missing teeth must be determined by your Dentist only after a complete examination. If you are uncomfortable with your Dentist's recommendation, seek a second opinion. Proper replacement of missing teeth is a complex process.

Yes : The lesser the number of the Pontiac’s the better the prognosis of any bridge. None better than one, one better than two..............,,
