Can I get a bridge on the NHS? My existing needs replacing (upper right 123 and upper left 1).Existing was NHS

Long story but here goes. When I was young I had a NHS bridge fitted. After 18 years, it needs replacing. My dentist is private and advised me to go onto denplan. Now she says that I cannot get a new bridge on denplan and I would have to pay for it at a cost of £350.00 per tooth. Upper left 1 is a retainer, Upper right 1 %26amp; 2 are pontifs and upper right 3 is a retainer. She has charged me £180 for two "wax up's" and I an not happy with them. I even went to another dentist for a 2nd opinion. I think she just wantes my money. If I got the bridge on the NHS when I was younger, how come I cannot get it done now? I would understand if it was a back tooth, but these are my front teeth! My bridge is fractured and sometimes my gums swell up, due to decay under the bridge, so it is not for cosmetic reasons. I am supposted to have been refered to an NHS consultant, but after 3 months, I am still waiting. I am going to call the British Dental Health Federation tomorrow and see what they say.

Reply:It sure is not your cosmetic requirement, but I doubt you will be taken in by NHS at this age (BTW how old are you?) It is not the end of road. You may travel abroad for same quality is available at much less, and also enjoy your holiday. You may make an internet search for: best and affordable dental bridge clinics in india or thailand. Good luck.
