Although dental implants offer a great long-lasting solution to lost or broken teeth not everyone wants to go down that route. Occasionally we are asked for an alternative to dental implants.
This patient for example requested that his old bridge was replaced and space filled without recourse to implants.
A new porcelain ceramic bridge of four teeth was fitted in our Glasgow dental practice.
This cost £1560. Similar bridgework for three teeth plus a dental implant crown would have cost £3070. Therefore the patient saved £1510 on his dental treatment and he had his desired alternative to an implant.
