my husband had 6 tooth bridge there are gaps where his gum line doesnt come down

Q. My husband just had a 6 tooth bridge put in. There are gaps where his gum line doesn’t come down inbetween the teeth. Is there anything that can be done for this? When he smiles it looks like his teeth are rotten at the gum line. There are in temporarily right now, because he was so unhappy with them. The dentist says he has deteriating gums so they will receed more. Thank you for your help.

A. He might need the gum rebuilding, however if the bridge is a temporary then the permanent bridge could be modified to fill the sapces
