has anyone ever had a dental bridge removed after having on for years? If so give the details?

I possibly may have to replace it. It may be causing gum irritation. I am worried about losing a tooth or all of them.

Each crown that the bridge is cemented on with, will have a groove drilled into it and the cement bond broken and the bridge should pop off. It usually is a very simple procedure to remove an old bridge. Good luck with the new one.
