| Bridges 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. Private £250-£400 per unit Maryland Bridge This is a bridge with a false tooth glued with a metal wing to a neighbouring tooth. These bridges cannot support excessive bite force and so can only be used in certain situations. Private £250-£400 per tooth (pontic) Private £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 realsitc appearance where a tooth has been lost.
