Crowns and Bridges in Milton Keynes

Our price for dental crowns starts from £889. The actual cost of a dental crown varies depending on factors such as the type of crown, materials used, etc. On average, the cost can range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars.

The availability of dental crowns on the NHS is typically limited to cases where there is a clear clinical need for the restoration, primarily for functional reasons rather than purely cosmetic purposes. The NHS prioritises essential dental treatments that address oral health needs and maintain overall well-being. Cosmetic procedures, including crowns for aesthetic reasons, may not be covered under the NHS. However, if a dental crown is deemed necessary for the restoration of a tooth’s function and health, it may be eligible for NHS coverage. Patients are advised to consult with us. We can assess your specific case and provide guidance on whether you qualify for NHS-funded dental crowns or if alternative options need to be considered through private dental services.

Dental crowns are recommended for various reasons, including protecting a tooth weakened by decay, supporting a tooth with a large filling, covering a dental implant, restoring a broken or chipped tooth, and improving the appearance of a discoloured or misshapen tooth.

A person who can undergo tooth extractions or bridgework can undergo dental implant treatment. The location and the amount of bone available in the implant area is normally the major factor to be considered for any case. Normally implants are suitable and best option for most cases but its best to have a consultation with our dentist to check for suitability and ask any questions you might have for the treatment.

Our price of dental bridges starts from £1,785. The actual cost of a dental bridge varies depending on factors such as the type of bridge, materials used, etc.

Same as dental crowns, the availability of dental bridges on the NHS is generally limited to cases where there is a clear clinical need for the restoration, primarily for functional reasons rather than purely cosmetic purposes. The NHS prioritises essential dental treatments that address oral health needs and maintain overall well-being. Dental bridges may be considered under the NHS if the loss of teeth significantly impacts functionality, such as chewing ability or bite alignment. Cosmetic reasons alone may not qualify for NHS-funded dental bridges. It is crucial for patients to consult with us. We can assess their specific case and provide guidance on whether they qualify for NHS-funded dental bridges or if alternative options need to be considered through private dental services.
