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.
