Talk to experienced dentist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Kindly advise on how the bridge became loose? An evaluation is required as to whether the teeth from which the bridge took support are in a favorable condition to support a new bridge/old bridge.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist get an evaluation done.
Health Tips
Do not delay, as the teeth might begin to move resulting in space closure. You might want to consider implants as well.

Hello
If the same bridge can be re-cemented then you should go ahead with the same one but if its not fitting properly then only get a new one fabricated after proper clinical evaluation.
Next Steps
Visit dentist as early as possible to prevent further damage.
Health Tips
Don't bite too hard from that side

Respected ma'am, you haven't explained the reason why the bridge was removed.You should visit the dentist who cemented that bridge and show it to them.If any part ofvof the tooth or bridge is Brocken,then it will have to be replaced.Otherwise the same bridge can be recemented.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist.

You haven't mentioned why the bridge was removed. If it was for a routine cleaning, the same can be recemented back, provided it's not damaged.
Next Steps
If the supporting teeth are in good health, it wouldn't make sense to change treatment options, since anyways you will have two crowns on them.
Health Tips
My opinion would be recement the existing bridge, if damaged replace it.
