My cousin lost a tooth (on the side of her mouth, not a molar) and is in her early forties. She is devastated since she has predominantly healthy teeth and this tooth came out from chewing some food.

She is leaning toward a bridge, but is nervous about how long they last, looks, etc. She also does not want to ruin the two teeth beside the missing tooth in order to apply the bridge. But a dental implant is way out of her price range and she wants to replace this tooth as quickly as possible, so she's kind of eliminated that option for now.

Anyone have positive experiences with bridges? Anyone have a Maryland type bridge?
