I chipped my tooth bridge on a fork can you fix it

Q. I have had bridge work done a couple of years a go and when I wa eatting I bite the fork on my front tooth it left a small chip in my front tooth no black is showing just a small chip can it be repaired ,and what is the cost around?
A. Thank you for your question. If you have just chipped a small amount of porcelain from your bridge, don’t worry. Treatment can be as simple as smoothing and polishing the porcelain. It may need a little more treatment such as adding white filling to the chipped area and if this doesn’t work a porcelain veneer can be made for the facing of the bridge and glued on with a special porcelain bonding system. If you go to your dentist they should be able to help you with this
Kind Regards

I have an existing bridge and a section of porcelian has cracked and fallen away. Is it possible to have the bridge recoated with porcelain?

Thanks for your answer
