Is it possible to get a 6 unit upper dental bridge appear natural ?

Question

I recently had my new bridge placed and although it is esthetic it just doesn't look natural, it just looks fake. It's too white and looks very nice but fake and doesn't match the rest of my teeth. I've had it for only 3 days and I want to ask the dentist to take it off but I'm not sure if he will agree with me. I am willing to pay again because I approved for him to cement the bridge. Is it ok to ask him to remove it ?

While a bridge CAN look natural, they sometimes do not.  Some labs create "adequate" restorations, others create works of art.  It will cost more to get the art, but it is worth it if you value it.  It is possible that the lab your doctor used is just fine, but cannot create "art".  He may need to ask to work with a lab that they are unfamiliar with.

Elizabeth Reiser-Loeber, DMD · Answer

The prior answer is great, and I see that your primary concern is the color. The dentist should be able to remove the bridge, and the lab shouldn't charge him to redo the work. If you're requesting a change in labs, then you may have to pay at least the lab fees. I would also look at the gum area to see if that looks good to you. When trying in the bridge before cementing, make sure you like it in different lighting. Bring a family member or friend with you to see if they like it too!
