What can I do to replace my bridge so that teeth either side are not disclosed

Q. Hi I currently have a bridge at the front which was done about 7 years ago, however it was done with a metal backing which means the teeth either side are discoloured as the metal shows through. What can I do to replace the bridge so that the teeth either side are not disclosed. Could I get a new bridge on the NHS if so do they only usually do them with a metal backing? Many thanks for your help. Kind regards

A. This might be an adhesive bridge. These bridges are very good as the teeth either side don’t need to be drilled down as is the case with a conventional bridge. You may need to consider an alternative such as a dental implant as the aesthetic result may work out better for you with the need to place a normal bridge.
