You have to wait 8 weeks before starting the bridge.
Yes. But an implant is a much better option
Yes. Bridges were designed to replace extracted teeth. Now a more specific answer for your case would need to be evaluated by a dental professional you are comfortable working with.
Of course, you just have to allow the extraction site to heal for six weeks before taking the final impression for the permanent bridge (your teeth can be prepped & place a temporary bridge during the healing phase). Other teeth replacements to be considered are an implant to prevent cutting down the adjacent teeth, especially if there are no restorations on them. Another option is to have a removable partial bridge.
Absolutely; there are also different options for replacing missing teeth like implants or partial or flipper. Best to consult your dentist.
