Zirconia bridge does not fit margins and looks unsightly. Is there any recourse after it is permanently cemented?

Asked By:leifs in Syracuse, NY

A zirconia bridge on zirconia abutments + implants was cemented permanently before I was given a chance to evaluate it. The margins are too high all around, as is the pontic, creating uncomfortable food traps. Cheek side the high margins look bulky and dark gray. The color of the bridge is gray and darker compared to surrounding teeth, and the front crown and pontic premolars are recessed in relation to the two teeth above them, all of which give the impression of missing teeth when I smile.
