Dentist Price

I Have a denture with two teeth on, rest of teeth are fine. Had check-up today, dentist recommended a "sticky bridge",(glued to teeth either side), estimated £1200 . Is there a cheaper way, I mean, going direct to technicians and they fix it in, rather then through dentist. Is this possible . Thanks .:D

are they not able to do it for you under the NHS? it should fall under band 3 not sure what the price is but its about a grand cheaper!Don't sweat the small stuff0 -
You can't go direct to a technician for a bridge.
It would be possible on the NHS if it's the only possible treatment, but as a denture is a perfectly acceptable solution, that would be the NHS option.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0
