Can a dental bridge be removed. I hate I chose gold and not porcelain?

I would like to have the bridge changed from gold to porcelain (white). Does anyone actually KNOW if this can be done?

Bridges can be removed, but generally dentists hesitate to remove a restoration if it is not necessary. Depending on how old the bridge is and if there is any decay your insurance may not cover it. (it usually has to be at least 5 yrs old and be compromised in some way) While gold isn't as pretty, it is a lot stronger and more acceptable to your gums, so look on the bright side for now.
Reply:Sure. They can do anything you want.

Reply:Its easy really. They just remove the existing bridge by cutting it off. Then take new impressions for the new bridge. The only bad thing would be that you will be paying for a new bridge.
