Dental bridges longevity

[FrankCrank]

....still got two of these that were done around 31 years ago - anyone better this?

The upper bridge spans a gap of 2 missing teeth, the lower one a gap of 3 missing teeth. No issues to date.

Unfortunately nothing could be done about the gap between my ears

I had one put in 28 years ago (upper back)which lasted really well with one re-cement. Unfortunately one of the supporting teeth started giving me gyp and had to be removed so I had the Dentist cut the bridge up and used one piece as a Crown for the remaining stump.

20 years so far, better than the original which only made it to twelve.

There's a bridge/span gag in there, which I won't overkill @theclaud

....I've also got one of my 'first' teeth. Whenever they do an x-ray it baffles them how it's still in place, and as I'm 54 years old now it might see me out

You must be getting a bit long in the tooth by now...I bet you ate your rusks.

I got three teeth knocked out by an Italian ice-cream salesman when I was 15 and the original bridge is still there, 44 years later.

The work was done by a dentist named Forman of Fenton? Fenwick? Newcastle upon Tyne.

Did you buy any ice cream in the end up?

I have some crowns that are reasonably old, about 33 years old, one was reglued in, otherwise going strong.
