My bridge chipped off while eating food, Is there a warranty on this or do I have to get the bridge replaced?

Q. I RECENTLY HAD A PORCELIAN BRIDGE INSTALLED ON MY FRONT LEFT TOOTH.3 MONTHS AGO.YESTERDAY AFTER EATING A SANDWICH I NOTICED A SMLL PORTION OF THE TOOTH THAT WAS REPLACE HAD CHIPPED OFF IN THE BOTTOM CORNER ABOUT 1/16X 1/16 INCHES.WILL I HAVE TO GET THE WHOLE THING REDONE OR CAN IT BE REPAIRED?ALSO IS THERE ANY SORT OF WARRANTY THE MAKERS OF THE BRIDGE HAVE USUALLY GIVE ON THESE? THANK YOU.

A. Some systems do have a warranty but most are informal warranties given by the dentist who fitted the work. For example in this situation our practice would replace without further charge but we would usually change the bridge design
