Bridge vs Implant vs Denture for One Missing Tooth
What each option costs now, what it costs members, and what it is likely to cost you over 20 years.
| 3-unit bridge | Single implant | Partial denture | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard price | £2,985 | £2,950 | from £795 |
| Member price | £1,492.50 | Excluded — £2,950 | from £397.50 |
| Treatment time | 2–3 weeks | 3–6 months | 3–5 weeks |
| Neighbouring teeth | Crowned (cut down) | Untouched | Clasps rest on them |
| Prevents bone loss | No | Yes | No |
| Typical lifespan | 10–15 yrs | 20+ yrs | 5–8 yrs |
| Fixed or removable | Fixed | Fixed | Removable |
| Likely 20-year cost (standard) | £3,000 – £6,000 | £2,950 – £3,950 | £2,400 – £3,200 |
Lifespans and 20-year costs are indicative ranges based on typical replacement intervals at today's prices. Which option suits you depends on the condition of the neighbouring teeth and your bone volume.
What Affects the Price?
Six factors set the number of units and the design — and therefore your price. All are settled at assessment.
Number of units
Bridges are priced per unit at £995. Replacing one tooth needs three units (£2,985); two adjacent teeth need four (£3,980). The neighbouring teeth that carry the bridge are crowned, and each crown is a unit.
Bridge design
A Maryland bridge bonds a wing to the back of one or two neighbouring teeth with minimal drilling — cheapest (from £1,030) but suited only to front teeth with light bite forces. A cantilever uses a single supporting tooth (from £2,060). A traditional bridge is the most versatile and long-lasting.
Material
Our standard unit fee covers high-strength zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-metal. Highly layered ceramics for very visible front teeth can cost more per unit; if that applies to your case it appears in your written quote.
Condition of the supporting teeth
The teeth either side must be strong enough to carry the load. If one needs a root canal (from £695) or a core build-up first, that is itemised separately — and member-eligible.
Fixed bridge or implant-supported
Where the neighbouring teeth are healthy and unfilled, an implant (£2,950) avoids cutting them down and is often the better long-term value. Where they already have large fillings or crowns, a bridge makes use of that and costs less.
Membership
Tooth-supported bridges are fully member-eligible at 50% off — a 3-unit bridge is £1,492.50 for members. The implant element of an implant-supported bridge is excluded. Membership is currently paused for new joiners.
