Q. Hi there, I’ve been to my dentist and was pondering over having a conventional fixed bridge or a maryland bridge – I have one missing front tooth. Both treatments cost £1,800 each. The dentist says for the maryland bridge, the reason why it’s that much is that it’s made from lava material. I just wanted to get a second opinion on the price because I thought that a maryland bridge was cheaper than a conventional bridge. Please advise. Thank you.
