If you’re getting a bridge on the right side is it necessary to do it on the left side?

Question

Or will it match? I don’t want to ruin my perfect teeth on left side just so the bridge on the right side matches my natural teeth, is it necessary to get the bridge to match perfect or will it match perfectly?

This can go 2 ways... You could end up with a bridge that DOESN'T match your natural teeth and smile or you could end up with a bridge that DOES match your natural teeth and smile. The way to control which one you get is to do your research, find a dentist that does cosmetic dentistry and ask to see before and afters. If you get a few quotes, make sure that you are comparing pricing for an all-porcelain bridge. All-porcelain will produce the most natural results. Last, most likely your cheapest quote wont yield the most esthetic bridge. If you choose the right dentist, you wont need to put a bridge on the other side, but to make your teeth match. Hope this helps and Good Luck!

The bridge on your right  side should match how your teeth appear on your left side assuming your mouth is consistent on both sides  From a color matching standpoint, both sides should match. You definitely do not need to do anything to the teeth on the opposite side to make both sides match. I hope this helps!
