The only reason I asked to replace the lower bridge that I had for 15 years was to eliminate a place where floss started to make its way under a tooth, I was very uncomfortable with the vulnerability of that and knew it could not be addressed without removing the bridge, So we concluded that I would kill two birds with one stone and do porcelain so they could all match. Well , They don't match and I could have a new vulnerable place if I'm not careful.
By the way when he took the 15 year old bridge out of the bottom, he said it was just wear on the cement , that I did a wonderful job taking care of them.

i am assuming that you are in the permanent bridge now that the color has been changed a few times? I would return and tell him you are concerned with the fit of the bridge to the tooth, that you don't want any space that could potentially trap bacteria easily and cause a cavity faster.
I asked him if they fit well to the gum line when he put them in and he said yes, It was two days later that I found it while flossing. I can even feel it with my tung and it is very sensitive. They are tight down,not loose.
it could be possible that the bridge has shifted now or shifted during temporary cementing that the fit is now off.
Hence the reason I would rather he just send them a new impression as opposed to trying to change the color, ( I was wondering if thats what they tried to do). And not have me go through the temporary acrylic taste for 2 weeks again.
I was thinking of going to a different dentist and have a look see and consult about the work in progress before I see him again, Because I know he will tell me its acceptable even if its not.
the majority of temps do not fit as well as the final crown or bridge. So the fit will be hard to determine unless you have that permanent bridge in. I am unclear if you are in the permanent bridge now that is temporary cemented or a temporary bridge
He told me I could keep it in temporary for a while, but I feel I need to get this resolved soon. Because he did temporary cement,he did not clear the cement so that I could floss under some of the teeth. At this time I am using a water pick. Thanks again

I am currently in thailand getting my teeth done
The dentist in Bangkok is 5 floor purpuse built dentist with full lab and xray inhouse, each floor does a different job or 2.
My dentist got his degree in the US and did practice there till recently.
Cost is less than half.
I was quoted 14k in oz for crowns and bridge work, it will cost me 6k in Thailand
I have a Thai wife and go every year to visit and holidy.
I post this just show that there is an alternative to the high costs of dental work and maybe some chance to have a holiday in the land of smiles.
