I have a tooth that I had a root canal on back in the 80's. I have always had problems with this tooth after the root canal. I have had two apicoectomies. I went to the dentist today and was told that the root is broken and trying to safe the tooth is useless. My dentist suggested either a single tooth implant or a three tooth bridge. My question, is it possible to get a 2 tooth bridge? I don't want to crown 2 good teeth if I can get away with just one.

A "bridge" is a tooth replacement option that uses the adjacent teeth as anchors to support the missing tooth. In the anterior region it is sometimes possible to use one tooth to support the missing tooth. But in most cases, two adjacent teeth (one on each side of the missing tooth) are required to provide sufficient support to replace the missing tooth. This is why a dental implant is usually the best option to replace a tooth that has been extracted.
