Replace missing tooth with dental bridge

Dental Bridge vs Implant

A Dental Bridge is an affordable alternative to more expensive, invasive and time consuming treatments such as a Dental Implant. At Dentael, we offer Modern Adhesive Dentistry. If a loose natural tooth has come out or is extracted, it may be possible to use it to fill the gap.

A dental bridge is a conservative treatment choice and an affordable option to replace a missing tooth. The natural tooth that has come out is shaped to fit in the gap. It is then bonded to the adjacent tooth.

What are other types of Dental Bridges?

An adhesive bridge is a common dental bridge made when the natural tooth that has come out can not be used. An adhesive bridge is a false tooth that is fixed to the neighbouring natural tooth, to fill the gap of the missing tooth. The false tooth is usually made of porcelain bonded to metal. There is a metal wing that is bonded to the inside of the natural tooth. Adhesive bridges are also known as resin-bonded bridges or Maryland bridges. They are conservative and a minimally invasive treatment option to replace a missing tooth.

How long does a Dental Bridge last?

They can last a few years depending on how well they are looked after. The better they are looked after, the longer they will last. Sometimes they last well over 5 years.

What’s the difference – Tooth Implant vs Dental Bridge ?

A dental implant requires invasive surgery. It also is time consuming and can take months to up to a year to complete treatment. Dental implants are known to be expensive, with average prices ranging between £2000 and £2500. Hence a dental implant is far more costly than a dental bridge.

A dental adhesive bridge does not involve invasive surgery. It is conservative and also does not involve extensive drilling of the tooth like conventional bridges. Treatment is completed within a matter of weeks or sometimes the same day, and at a lot lower price. Therefore a dental bridge is a much more affordable, simpler and quicker option to replace a missing tooth than a dental implant.

How much does a Dental Bridge cost?

For the majority of patients the price for a dental bridge is between £650 to £750.
