My dental bridge is bulky and feels very uncomfortable. Please evaluate it! (Photo)

Versatile9622Jul 8, 2019
Please take a look at my dental bridge. I have told my doc I think it looks very artificial and he insisted it is fine. He said it is impossible to make it smaller, because "he has no space", his exact words. I am still crying because it was a consistent financial effort and I am no rich girl. It feels bulky and I think it also looks odd. The cement is still temporary but this is the final bridge. What do you think? Honest opinion, please. I just can't stop crying.

If you’re unhappy with the result, then yes I’d consider redoing the zirconia bridge. You should be  able  to get a more natural looking result. If redone, ask the dentist to see the final bridge tried in before it’s cemented so you can make sure you are happy with the final result.
