Possibly: It really depends on what is wrong with it. This would determine wether it could be repaired.

Depends: It all depends what the problem is and how critical you are of the repair. If some of the porcelain has chipped off bonding can be done to repair it but the color match may not be 100%. If the metal framework has broken then the best solution is to replace it. Otherwise it will cost you more in the long run patching it.

Depends: Do you mean a removable or cemented in bridge? Reason for failure must be evaluated. Once that is done, the solution can be determined.

Yes: It all depends what it is that needs fixing. Slight decay can be repaired, but a break between the teeth cannot.

Not for very long.: Dental bridges with cast metal, or fired porcelain cannot usually be repaired in the mouth in a durable fashion.

Unlikely: Quality dental care comes with a price. You gave us insufficient information to work with. Fixed or removable and what's wrong? There are inexpensive temporary fixes. Better and long term remedies cost more. Ser your dentist to discuss your options!

Possibly: In some cases if the problem is broken or chipped porcelain, it can be repaired with composite (tooth colored filling). If the metal is damaged or there is significant decay then this may not be an option. Only your dentist can tell you specifically.

Depends: Fit is most important. If that is compromised it should be redone.

Depends on the break: If the bridge has had some of the porcelain (tooth colored) part break off, then the rough edges can be smoothed or some tooth colored composite can be bonded to the bridge. If the substructure is broken or the teeth underneath the bridge have cavities, then the bridge most likely needs to be remade, which is more expensive than a quick recontouring or patch job.

Yes: Sometimes the porcelain fracture , and we can repair it with composite ( but that is a temporary solution), the best option is always to make a new one.

Bridge: Depending on the fixed. If it is only a small front porcelain chip off, it can be bonded. It will not look the same as porcelain, but it will be better than spending more money, if everything else if fine. If it is decay along the marginal area, you will need to replace it. Same if the porcelain has broken off from the inter-dental contact areas. Generally, only a few can be fixed.

Appropriate treatment, and thereby the cost, can only be determined after an examination (and probably imaging). Once cause is elucidated, Dentist can then present you with options. Know, however, that more long-lasting care comes with a price. Seek quality.
