What is the procedure to have a dental bridge replaced?

[Murphy]

Hi

I had a dental bridge made for my front teeth about five years ago and just recently the gum line around my bridge teeth has started to recede back and left a black line around my bridge teeth which my dentist says he cant do anything with because its the metal inside the bridge that is showing through. I would like to have this bridge replaced with a new bridge but this time I don't want to have any metal inside the bridge. My dentist says that he does not do any metal free dental bridges. Is that something that you could help me with and if so, what is the procedure for getting this bridge replaced?

Thank you for your question.

The procedure for replacing a dental bridge is as follows

1. Assessment, xrays and planning.
2. Removal of the dental bridge and fit of a temporary bridge.
3. Fit of a permanent all ceramic dental bridge if that is your wish.
