Had front six teeth crowned with all porcelain. One side a three tooth bridge and other side is three individual teeth. Returned to lab three times to get color right. Bridge broke after less than a month. Dentist will redo bridge. I'm worried color will not match the other crowns. Before starting this, during first consultation, he told me the only way to get a perfect match is to have them all done at the same time. Should my dentist redo all six to be sure that they are a perfect match?
