My new bridge pontiff became detached from the back molar tooth. (photo)

My new bridge pontiff became detached from the back molar tooth. The pontiff and front molar are still one piece. The bridge is now in TWO pieces - (a) pontiff and front molar and (b) the back molar. Although the gap is tiny. Can the bridge be fixed? Or does it have to be replaced.
