AS LONG AS THERE IS HEALTHY SUPPORT FROM A DISTANT TOOTH A BRIDGE IS POSSIBLE, BUT WE AWARE THAT IT WILL BE A LONGER AND MORE EXPENSIVE ONE.
Yes you can have the other central incisor added to the bridge as long as the right lateral is strong enough. A bridge can weaken a supporting tooth over the years so it is vital that he tooth is strong from the start. The other option is a veneer which will cover the darkened tooth surface with a shade to match the existing bridge, this may be a cheaper option also. This is glued to the tooth therefore does not need a supporting other tooth. The last and final resort would be a plate with clips which holds the 3 teeth and clips to your pre molars to secure the plate. Good luck.
