I am told I need a bridge too, after a tooth extraction. I don't want to compromise two healthy teeth, even though one has a small cavity.
I am still unsure which way I will go. It is a back molar so I am not concerned at this time.
But if you are talking about your front teeth, I would go with partial dentures I think. No metal posts for me. No crowns yet either so far.
Keep researching until you are positive of the route you want to go. You are the only one that has to live with your mouth! Don't let the dentist persuade you. Get all the information you can then tell them you want to think about it. Too many times they want to rush into procedures.
Good luck and don't stress about it. There is tons of information on the web and curezone to help you make your choices.
Blessings to you.
