I have a bridge on one side of my back teeth...Knowing how they work I understand what you are saying...Why did you go to see her to start?...Were you having problems with the bridge or just for a visit...If she just checked over your teeth or cleaned them, I would see the red caution flag...If you went because you were having problems, then I would get a second opinion....
You are talking about a lot of money...With the economy as it is, she probably could be doing what you say is possible...I guess if it was me I would wait for it to fail...
Seeing I have had mine for over 20 years, I am still not worried...Stay away from sticky candy, and foods that are bothersome for you...
Good luck,
Caroline
