my dentist told me that i could not get a bridge in nhs is it true?
Q. Dear all, I’ve just visited a dentist to get a tooth (nr6, i believe) assessed. it a tooth that is broken off almost completely and has only got a slim chance for a crown because of an abses underneath the root, pending a second opinion the dentist told me that I couldn’t get a bridge (the tooth behind it is prepared for a crown) on the NHS.., is it true that I’m not entitled to a bridge per se, and if not, what are the criteria? kind regards,
A. Bridgework can only be placed at the discretion of the dentist you may need to pay privately for this treatment
hi
When is an NHS patient entitled to a white filling treatment?. I asked my dentist today for a white filling instead of a metal one (because the filling she was about to do was a front one and can be easily seen when smiling) but she refused and did a metal one instead.
Thanks

Hi
i have a nhs tax credit exemption certificate, and just wanted to no if i would be entitled to a Bridge done on the nhs, or even some of the cost payed for me.
thankyou.
Can you tell me approximately how much it costs to have a bridge fitted and if it is done under NHS charges please? I have a gap at the side of my mouth where one tooth is missing. One tooth next to it is solid but has a filling, and the other one has no filling. I haven’t been to a dentist for a while because I have been put off by pain during appointments before. If necessary can you be given extra anaesthetic or a local anaesthetic?
the cost will vary between dentists but as a rule most bridges are not available on the NHS, you should budget around £1500 for a 3 tooth bridge
