Broken dental bridge

[Maureen]

Hello

I have a dental bridge that was placed around 8 years ago and since it was stuck on my front teeth, I have not had any problems at all with the bridge.

However last night whilst eating a sandwich a chunk of the porcelain bridge came off and left a sharp edge on the remaining bridge in my mouth.

Could you let me know if there is anyway that the bridge could be repaired for now whilst I save up for a new bridge. I read about Lumineers and that they could be stuck on top of broken bridges to repair them and thought that maybe that would be my best temporary solution but I would appreciate your opinion.

A broken dental bridge can be repaired with composite veneers and lumineers but please be aware that the bond between these materials is unlikely to last more than short term and you should save up for a more permanent solution.
