Rdailey,

The reason I asked about where the bridge was is because when a bridge is placed on the lower arch and a wisdom tooth is the back anchor tooth... sometimes the angulation of the bridge is odd and this could cause a squishy or sensitive sensation when you bite down.

Okay, so the bridge is replacing the first molar tooth #19. This should be a relatively straight forward bridge to prep for providing both existing teeth have enough tooth structure above the gum line to prep for crowns. If either of these teeth have tilted in toward the open space, then that could make the prep a little complicated.

One way to tell if this bridge was too snug against the gum tissue is when the bridge is removed there would be a dark red indentation in that area of gum where the pontic (fake crown) was digging into the gum. So ask to see the area with a mirror when the bridge is removed.

Hopefully the re prep will be minimal and the new bridge will fit perfectly.

Keep us posted...
Bryanna
