A dental bridge is a ceramic dental prosthesis which replaces missing teeth which has had to be extracted. A bridge is a series of several dental crowns attached together. It can be fixed to a tooth or to a dental implant. The price of a bridge is extremely attractive abroad.

Be attentive to these points when comparing prices:
1) Our dentists have a lot of experience with zirconium bridges and will always give you the choice between a usual metal ceramic bridge and a zirconium bridge (without metal). They also use the latest technology to sterilise their material and respect high hygiene standards.
2) The quality of the dental laboratory has an important impact on the price. Our dental bridge prices guarantee quality material and an experienced laboratory using fine dental materials.
There are much more exclusive services included in these prices, see the dental clinics’ price pages:
Dental prothesis
The term dental prostheses refers to 2 types of prostheses :
1) Removable dental prosthesis – total or partial, also referred to as dentures. The disadvantage is its lack of stability and great discomfort, as the prosthesis has to fasten to adjacent teeth using metallic hooks or be stuck as best one can to naked gums . A prosthesis for the upper teeth often has to be placed on the palate. This encumbers taste perception and changes your way of talking. To solve this problem, a removable prosthesis can be fixed to dental implant, thus allowing for a very great improvement in stability and mastication.
2) Fixed dental prosthesis: The ideal solution in terms of aesthetics and mastication, this type of prosthesis is called a dental crown when it only replaces a single tooth or a dental bridge when it replaces several teeth. By definition, it is fixed (cemented) to one or more teeth or dental implants. Dental prostheses are manufactured by a prosthetic technician. The work is done by hand. The quality of the result depends on the material used (ceramic-metallic element of bridge, gold and ceramic element of bridge or 100% ceramic element of bridge, made of zirconium), the time spent and the talent of the prosthetic technician.
Dental bridge
A dental bridge is a series of dental crowns stuck together. We can distinguish two cases:
1) When several adjacent teeth need to be treated, we fit a bridge on all the teeth concerned
2) When a tooth needs to be replaced and it is not possible to fit a dental implant, we fit a bridge supported by the two adjacent teeth. Such a bridge has a good appearance and is perfectly functional. It’s disadvantage is that two healthy teeth have to be cut and the bone below the tooth which is being replaced is reduced little by little, which is not the case with a dental implant.
The time taken to complete a bridge is around 2 to 5 days.
1) Preparation of the teeth under local anaesthetic – the teeth are sculpted to receive the future dental bridge.
2) Taking a cast of the teeth to be treated (to prepare a bridge which is perfectly suited to your teeth).
3) Fitting a provisional bridge (for aesthetic purposes and to protect the teeth during the preparation of the permanent bridge).
4) Fitting a permanent dental bridge which gives the teeth a natural aesthetic appearance once more, as well as normal mastication function. In principle, a bridge lasts for decades.
5) If the bridge is fitted on an implant, step 1 is replaced by the fitting of the dental implants.

– Investments made in the dental surgery and dental prosthesis (continuous training, cutting edge material). A dentist and/or prosthetic technician who regularly follows training programmes and attends training sessions will be more effective and will use the most modern techniques, especially if he/she has invested in cutting edge material.
Going abroad is worth it economically from a bridge of 2 crowns upwards especially for patients who combine the trip with their holidays travel as we offer means to reduce your travel costs, e.g. possibility of brief stays of 24 – 48 hours, which reduces accommodation costs, possibility of coming by car, preferential prices in certain hotels.
We will do everything in our power to avoid this, through selecting up-to-date doctors and clinics. These doctors will give you all the necessary recommendations for good post-operative follow-up and will eventually recommend you a colleague near to where you live if necessary for a certain period. It is, however, impossible to eliminate all risks of complication in medicine. It should be noted that complications are not necessarily attributable to the doctor’s responsibility. They can sometimes occur due to a pre-existing condition, bad luck, or negligence by the patient. This is as likely to happen in your own country as it is elsewhere.
For this reason, we work with the world leader in insurance. We thus offer you the possibility of taking out insurance which only we offer and which will cover risks of medical complications associated with voluntary operations both abroad and for 6 months after your return. This insurance also covers the costs of returning abroad, including accommodation. Any emergency treatment linked to your initial treatment is also covered, both abroad and for 6 months after your return, up to the equivalent of £6,500 to £15,000. If you refuse to return to the doctor/dentist who carried out your operation/treatment abroad, you may choose another practitioner in your country of residence and the costs will be covered,too. This insurance can only be taken out if you have your initial operation/treatment in a country other than your country of residence.
Moreover, we only work with practitioners and clinics who offer a guarantee. The duration of this guarantee varies (1 year to lifelong) and restrictions may be mentioned by the doctor or clinic (for example: exclusion of the consequences of an accident, a systemic illness, lack of hygiene, etc.) This guarantee nevertheless requires another trip abroad. In the event of an emergency, you may have to consult another practitioner closer to home. If you have not taken out insurance and NHS refuses to cover you, you may have to bear at least part of these costs
You will indeed make large savings through going abroad to be treated. Find out more. Nevertheless, we also recommend that good quality treatment should be your priority and that you should carefully seek advice before leaving as regards the doctor and clinic.
No, as long as you follow certain rules. We are very strict in selecting our foreign partners as we want to be sure that we can place our complete trust in the doctor with whom we are going to work.
We also insist on the fact that you must follow to the letter all instructions which the doctor will give you on site (above all these will be recommendations linked to common sense, for example, rest after the operation). There are no more risks when being treated abroad than there are in your own country. As in all areas, it is impossible to eliminate risks 100%, however the risk of treatment abroad is no higher than in your own country.
Of course, indeed we would recommend this. Going for treatment abroad is much more pleasant in good company. The slight increase in cost associated with being accompanied (train or plane fare and hotel) is largely compensated for by the benefits of having someone with you.
