Hi there
I have had a Maryland bridge for 15 years or so, and although it has held together well, I have never liked the way it looks. The metal used to connect the false tooth to the existing teeth shows through my (rather thin) front tooth, making it look bluish. What alternatives are there besides a traditional fixed bridge? Is there anything new out there, perhaps a Maryland-type bridge that is affixed to the existing teeth with porcelain or some other substance? BTW, my insurance will not cover implants, so that's not an option right now. Thanks.
