Question:
Repairing Bridges
I have a bridge on my top front teeth which is only 3 years old. I fell and chipped the front tooth.

The Dentist tells me this cannot be repaired but the entire bridge must be replaced at a cost of $11,000.

Is there any way to fix this one tooth or can it be cut from the bridge and then replace that one tooth? ...Visitor from TX

Answer:
It's nearly impossible to repair broken porcelain in the mouth. You need to replace the whole bridge.
