This story makes me very uncomfortable.  

Something is wrong when the dentist tries to talk a patient into less
than the best treatment.  Removeables can be better than nothing, but
they are nowhere near the function of a fixed bridge.  There is
either a money problem or an {*filter*}health problem.

Is there something wrong with your teeth or {*filter*}hygiene that does not
make you a good candidate for a fixed bridge?

My last thought is that if this dentist doesn't think you should have
a bridge, maybe *he* shouldn't be the one making it.
