Case Description
I had a new yellow gold bridge put in my mouth a few weeks ago. The dentist had a hard time getting the bite just right. I went back several times and it finally feels fine but I noticed that there is a small white spot showing through on the top of my back tooth. This tooth has already had a root canal with a post. Is this white spot a hole in the bridge or is it something underneath the yellow gold that is showing through?

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
