Adhesive Bridge

Are these bridges good? I have to decide will I get one done? Also price wise I'm being quoted 1000 euro for the adhesive bridge. Is this the normal price?

Yes, but case selection is paramount.
You'd need to be seen clinically to assess your situation...see another dentist for an opinion if you're wary of your current dentists' suggestions (before treatment as opposed to after!)

Price seems about right, it will range depending on qualifications of practitioner (general dentist/specialist prosthodontist), geographical location, ect....most practices have a website, which should give a price range.

I am having 3 implants done mainly on my front upper teeth to replace my denture. I will then be left with one space at the side where there will be a gap and the dentist i am probably getting to do the implants has recommended an adhesive bridge as a solution. I dont know much about them so was just wondering are they good and was the price ok?

Sorry Nick, I can't answer either question definitively; there are too many variables (occlusion, size shape and thickness of teeth, length of span, quality& quantity of enamel, periodontal condition, oral hygiene, type of material being used, ect ect....)
These bridges are good in good clinical conditions, not so good in not so good clinical conditions, terrible in terrible clinical conditions.

Either your dentist has not discussed the treatment with you in sufficient detail, or you do not trust that his judgement&/work.
Don't proceed with treatment if you are unsure, discuss further or ask for a second opinion (not online).

The dentist explained it fine. I was just wondering what peoples general opinion of them are and was the price fair as i didnt know much about them.

why are you not getting the last gap filled with an implant?

in fairness, 1k for a bridge + 3 implants would be pretty close to 4 implants with a bit of haggling, unless there's some obvious reason why you can't have an implant in that space.

I would but the side is more complicated. Sinus lift etc. The 3 I'm getting at the front are more straight forward. The cost goes up a lot also.
