I'm a 30 year-old female. I have #7 missing and #9 and 10 had large fillings. I've decided to replace a lost tooth with a fixed three-unit bridge (on 6, 7, and 8) and put crowns on 9 and 10. When I arrived at my dentist for the permanent bridge and crowns to be put on, the dentist placed the five-unit fixed bridge. The bridge had metal framework that extends uninterrupted from end to end and was covered on the visible surfaces by porcelain. I noticed that this is not what we had planned. The dentist called the lab and they came and got the bridge. In about 45 minutes they had my bridge cut in 3 pieces: three-unit bridge and two crowns. The dentist was ready to fit that permanently just as everything was going the way it was supposed to. I asked to have it put on temporary cement for now. I do not like the fact that I have exposed metal between my teeth and the that my bridge was significantly work on after it was finished which in my opinion makes it more prone to failure in a future.
