Can I get my bridge repaired or should I get a new one?

Q.
Dear Dr. Caplan,

Approx. 6years ago I had a new bridge fitted. Maybe one year ago a sliver from the bottom of one of the front teeth broke off, my Dentist, at that time, managed to refix the this broken part. A new Dentist took over the practice, the same part came off again and has been replaced on countless occasions during the past six months. This piece doesn’t seem to be ‘stuck’ with the correct adhesive. Now it is not a sliver it is a wedge that is being replaced. I cannot afford an entire new bridge, even though I have a DenPlan contract. To be honest if I were to be able to afford a new bridge I would never want this particular Dentist to fit it.
I would appreciate your advice on this matter.

Many thanks,

A.
Repair of bridges are possible but they are not as successful as a “new bridge”
