Is a Bridge Covered in Band 3 NHS Prices?
Q.
Hi, I have two teeth that need extracting and had asked my NHS dentist about having a fixed brace. I felt as though she was trying to sell me implants at a cost of £2000 each. She also advised that a bridge would cost about £1500. She did mention partial dentures, although I don’t feel this would be the right treatment for me. I had thought a bridge was covered in band 3 NHS prices? Can you advise please?

Hi, thank you for getting in touch. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with NHS pricing – the type of dentistry that is encompassed by cosmetic dentistry is not normally available on the NHS. Try going to another NHS dentist for a second option. Kind regards, Mark.
