My dentist won’t replace my bridge until it had fallen out completely, so I now want implants. How much are they?

Q. Hi I currently have a bridge as i lost one of my front teeth some years ago. This bridge has now slipped downwards and needs to be replaced, my dentist will not replace it until it has fallen out, this has upset me because when i do smile you can see the gap above the bridge which shows my own teeth either side. So as he wont change this i am thinking of getting implants. What would a dentist do, would they just put one inplant in for the one missing tooth and put crowns on the supporting teeth (these are front teeth) i have about an inch overbite as well so can this also be changed. How much would this cost? Thanks,
A. Hello, Thank you for your enquiry, Implants can cost from £3000 per tooth but this depends on the individual needs of your mouth. For the crowns one each side they can be from £695.00 to £1200.00 per tooth. It is difficult to suggest whether an implant is neccesary as you may like to replace your bridge?
