I had a dental bridge after an accident and I an not happy with the work can i do anything to correct my smile ?

Q. Three and a half years ago I had a bridge fitted to my front 6 toop teeth. I haven’t been happy with the work but never dared complain about the work done as it was a reconstruction after a accident. The teeth are not straight and run upwards towards the right side. My tounge shows more than it should and I don’t smile in photo’s because I don’t like my smile. Could anything be done to correct my smile? L

A. Dear L
There are many things we can do to improve your bridge and get you to smile again. The first thing you would need is a complete consultation to assess your mouth. Once this is done I would take moulds of your teeth and create what we call a “wax up” this is basically the plan for how your new teeth should look. Once we do this we can place it over your teeth and assess your smile from there. We can correct anything that does not seem right so that we can can you a beautiful natural even smile. The great part of this process is that you can preview your new smile and can give me as much feedback as possible so we can make the teeth longer/ shorter wider etc. Only when you are happy would we create the permanent bridge .
I hope this helps you.
