Dental Bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth. For getting a dental bridge, supporting teeth are prepared, by removing a portion of enamel to allow room for a crown to be placed over them. After preparation patients feel some sensitivity to hot or cold liquids and foods. Crown sensitivity is extremely common and usually subsides within week. Life of dental bridge depend upon various factor like ,In what procedure it has been prepared, health of supporting teeth, gum condition, oral hygiene, other medical condition affecting oral health etc. You can ask more about your treatment with your dentist.

Well, a Bridge is still a pretty accepted treatment protocol and for 2 missing anteriors, canine to canine Bridge has to be given but yes you have a valid question because ofcourse we are shaving off some enamel so you need to have a very good oral hygiene maintainance to prevent secondary Caries in the supporting teeth. The way to prevent these worries would be to have had gone for dental implants where no healthy tooth structure is used to replace missing teeth. Go for routine check ups from time to time and you should be just fine.
