I have cracked my bridge, can I have it glued or should I get implants?
Q.
Hi
I have bridge that spans 7 teeth, front lower jaw. I have had this since the age of 19 and I am now 45. I had to have this bridge as 4 second teeth that did not appear, so had milk teeth until the age of 19. I have just cracked my bridge in the centre and its feels a little loose. Can this be “glued” or mended, or will I have to have implants?. Back when I was 19 I was able to get this on the NHS as it was deemed to be medical rather than cosmetic. Is this still a possibility?, if not can you give be a rough cost per implant, abutment and crown.

Hello Jenny, you might get another bridge on the NHS but not implants. As a guide we charge around £3000 for a large bridge and around £9000 for 4 implants and a 7 unit bridge if all the teeth need removal. It might not be as drastic as this you may only need 2-3 implants to replace the missing teeth.
