Can a bridge be filled down Plz advice

Q. Hi, I wonder if you can help. I had an upper bridge fitted by an NHS dentist and it really is the worst thing I have ever done. The 4 teeth are massive and I feel my smile has been ruined. I now speak with a slight lisp and have a constant dry mouth. I also now have an over bite. This bridge also sticks out farther than the teeth either side of it. I am so upset about this.My question I guess it – can a bridge be filled down

A. This is unlikely to be possible and you probably need a new bridge.  NHS dentists are limited as far as aesthetics goes due to the fee that they recieve limiting them to use basic laboratory technicians to produce well fitting bridges but with limited aesthetics
