What is the best approach to the following. While sedated yesterday I was asked to give permission that a new dental bridge for several of my front teeth looked good and I was pleased with it. I was helped by two people and asked to look at this mirror about 3 feet away. I could not even make out my mouth everything was fuzzy. Just wanted to sit down. I said I guess so. It was permanently glued in and now that I am awake, the bridge is plain awful, ugly and to big for my mouth. The front teeth slant to the right, teeth are to big and it looks just terrible. Cost $7200.00 and I am unhappy. Initial conversation with office tells me that I okayed the placement. I asked if they always asked patients that are sedated to give consent. So far I am stuck with this nasty bridge. What do I do?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. I feel sad for your condition. The consent and permission will be taken when the patient is completely normal, responsive not while sedated. If you are not happy with the bridge, you can always get it corrected by repeating the bridge. Consult your dentist and get it repeated, we can remove the bridge and redo it. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
