chipped/cracked bridge

    I have chipped my porcelain on metal bridge (front tooth). Can anyone advise me as to what the repair process is and whether I can expect a repair to last any decent period of time.

    Also, the tooth beside the chipped/cracked bridge is a veneer that does not match the colour of the bridge. Does anyone know if the repair to the bridge can make the bridge a different colour.

    If anyone can recommend an excellent cosmetic dentist I would be most grateful as I have had a couple of bad experiences with below par cosmetic dentists in the past.

    Thanks in advance

    Bonding material to a bridge in the mouth is pretty difficult and prone to fracture again. No the entire colour of the bridge cannot be changed. The best option would be to replace the entire bridge, unless the chip is very small. I have had repairs last well, and I have had them come off all the time.
