Sometimes they will use a laser to reduce the amount of gum tissue along that margin. If you are going to do that, it should be done soon so that you can clean it better.

I would still get a second opinion on the fit of the bridge. It would be ideal to bring your x-rays with you and let the consulting dentist take an x-ray of that area to see how the bridge is fitting along the margins.
