Can I hv another bridge done in NHS Plz advice

Q. I had a bridge for about 15years which consisted of 2 back crowns a front crown which supported the 2 teeth that were missing on the upper jaw and the bridge was good but it started to come loose and my dentist told me that it was because my gums were receeding so it would have to be replaced so it was with a front and back crown that was nearly 5 years ago but now the bridge has broke off from the front crown, The same dentist has suggested a denture as I would not get another bridge,As dental treatmant is so expensive in the UK I was thinking about haveing it done abroad, So please could you advise me if there is any other options with the NHS about haveing another bridge done? Thank You

A. Hi many thanks for your email, i am unaware that the NHS would make a new bridge if the dentist has said another bridge is not possible. my only advice is that if you think a new bridge is possible then seek the advice of a second dentist. i would personally stay clear of dentistry abroad but that is just from what i have seen and had to retreat but you pay your money and take your chances. hope this is helpful.
