Paul had a 3-tooth fixed bridge for 15 years until one of the anchor teeth (that had a root canal and gum surgery) failed in 1978. So, it grew to a 4-tooth bridge that lasted until 1986, when the next anchor tooth failed. Two dental implants were placed in 1988, which held a new fixed bridge, until a third implant was placed in 1990. This 4 tooth fixed bridge supported by three implants exists to this day. Paul's experience illustrates that, even when everything that could be done had been done, his mouth kept changing.
