Key facts
Fees shown are from our published price guide. Your written treatment plan confirms costs before anything begins.
How a bridge works
The teeth on either side of the gap are prepared and crowned, and a false tooth is joined between them as one connected unit. It is cemented in place and cannot be removed by you.
A bridge is quicker than an implant, needs no surgery, and can usually be completed within a few weeks — which is why it remains a popular choice.
The trade-off to understand
Preparing healthy teeth to support a bridge is irreversible, and if one supporting tooth later fails the whole bridge is compromised. Cleaning underneath the false tooth requires superfloss or an interdental brush, every day.
Where the neighbouring teeth are sound and untouched, we will always present an implant as the alternative so you can weigh both properly.
Common questions
Dental Bridges: your questions answered
How much does a dental bridge cost?
£450 per bonded unit or £620 per ceramic unit at Wolverhampton Dental. A typical three-unit bridge involves two supporting teeth and one false tooth, so the fee reflects three units. Plan members receive 10% off.
How long does a bridge last?
Commonly ten to fifteen years, depending on your bite, your cleaning and the health of the supporting teeth. Decay at the margins of the supporting crowns is the most frequent cause of failure.
Bridge or implant — which is better?
An implant avoids preparing healthy neighbouring teeth and preserves bone, but costs more and takes months. A bridge is faster and cheaper but relies on adjacent teeth. If those teeth are already crowned or heavily filled, a bridge often makes good sense.
