Hello sir...
yes sir the dental bridge last for many years if you follow all the precautions of not biting in front ... the only thing is you need to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent food lodgement underneath the pontic....if the pontic gets loose in that mean period you need to re cement that by visiting nearby dentists ....
