Dental bridge fitted in the uk ?
It depends if you have it done on the NHS when it should cost you about £200, depending on the size, how many teeth it will replace etc. Another way of replacing a lost tooth is an implant. These may only be available privately. However, it is very expensive, about £1000. The dentist will implant a type of screw into the bone and attach a false tooth. It is a permanant measure and is usually only done to replace the front teeth.
Reply:Had one fitted about 5 years ago it cost me £150 back then.It fell out about 3 mths ago and i spend £30 to have it re fitted,1 week later it fell out again so that cost me another £30 yet again,only for that to fall out again after 3 days.Now they tell me the etching on the back has gone and i need a new bridge at a cost of £245.I will get it done but not just yet as thats a lot of money for 1 tooth..
Reply:Maybe a bit silly, but why not go into your local dentist and look at a chart that gives all the prices, or ask a receptionist. ok.
Reply:Martinsbits2000 has had a Marylands bridge placed. These have metal wings which are etched and cemented to the teeth either side. They have a high failure rate, and they collect a lot of plaque, leading to decay. When the decay sets in, it can destroy the supporting teeth. Martin, if you are having another Marylands, they usually work better if only glued to 1 tooth.


A standard bridge consist of a full-encirclement crown on each of the adjacent teeth. These can last for a lifetime. I don't know prices in the UK.

Reply:It really depends on how many teeth are involved in the bridge. If it is a 3 unit bridge (2 of your teeth and a space) then it will be very secure doing a fixed bridge. Make sure--if it is to replace a very large space then more teeth are required on the bridge for support. You can also consider a removable partial denture if it is a large space or for many teeth. I don't know UK prices but a standard 3 unit bridge would be about 2500 US dollars where I practice. Go for a consultation with a dentist and see what fees they quote you. It also depends on if you need any additional work done to the teeth that the bridge hooks onto. Also if it is for a one tooth space then you can consider an implant. Ask your dentist--I'm sure they will advise you well. Good luck!
Reply:The new dental fee came in in April and i cant remember which band it comes into, its either £15.50 or £42.40. I think it might comes under urgent treatment there for its £15.50.
