A few weeks ago my bridge fell out. The dentist did manage to cement back in, even though the "pins" that normally hold it in were damaged. I have been told that I cant have replacement bridge (this is where Im confused) but can have a denture or even pay privately and have implants. Anyone know why this could be?

Good day
The option to replace the bridge is dependant on the amount of sound tooth structure left. It might be that the remaining tooth structure is not enough or of good quality to support a new bridge and then the only option left is either a denture or implants.
