Hi,

Maybe you can advise.. six years ago I had my two incisors removed and two separate maryland bridges placed onto my front two teeth.

One has broken twice and been cemented back in each time. Of the adjoining teeth – one is OK and the other a little decayed where the metal arm joins it (it doesn’t any more).

I have two separate quotes and approaches from two dentists. One involves work on maryland/pontiac bridges to strengthen it circa £2,500 and the other involves removing the two front roots and inserting a large bridge across the gaps left by the four front ones.

I understand the prognosis for the latter is probably better long term. However that’s £8,500.

I also understand that implants might be options especially at that price level.

I am however struggling to understand why the quote for that bridge is £8,500.

Is this a fair appraisal of my options and do you think those costs are reasonable? Thank you.
