Bridges - Services

Here at Skye Dental we are one of the leading Glasgow Dental Bridge clinics, offering an important restorative treatment that is able to remedy a series of tooth problems.

What is a Bridge?

Bridges are used to fill gaps where teeth have been extracted. The remaining teeth on either side of the space are used to cement a false tooth to. Bridges therefore cannot be removed like dentures can.

Porcelain Bonded to Metal Bridge

This is the same as a porcelain bonded to metal crown but for each unit (tooth) on a bridge it costs slightly more due to more work for the technician.

For Private treatment, the cost is £250-£400 per unit.

Maryland Bridge

The Maryland Bridge is a false tooth bonded to the back of a neighbouring tooth with a metal wing. This type of bridge is not strong enough to withstand excessive biting forces and so can only be used in certain situations.

For Private treatment, the cost is £250-£400 per tooth (pontic).

For Private treatment, the cost is £70-£200 per wing.

Lava Bridge made by 3M ESPE

A bridge is a crown or crowns with a false tooth attached to give a realistic appearance where a tooth has been lost. A Lava Bridge is made of high strength porcelain thus avoiding the need for a metal substructure. The result is a natural tooth affect without the greyness of underlying metal.

For Private treatment, the cost is £350-£450 per unit.
