Because of my cleft lip and gum I have had more than my fair share of dental work in my life. The bridge I had put in as an 18 year old is still lasting almost 30 years later! But all of my other teeth are falling out around it lol. I had two molars removed because of various problems on this last trip. I need to get them replaced but I refuse to do it here. In Turkey I can get porcelain crowns for $100 each. I can wait.
