Replace 1-2 missing teeth with a fixed, natural-looking Maryland bridge at Castle Dental in Lincoln, starting from £600 per tooth.
A Maryland bridge replaces a missing tooth with a prosthetic held securely in place by a thin wing bonded to the back of an adjacent tooth. Unlike alternatives like a removable denture, a Maryland bridge costs much the same but stays fixed in your mouth and blends more naturally with the rest of your smile.
One major benefit of the Maryland bridge is that it often requires little or no drilling of the supporting tooth, unlike traditional bridgework. Rather than having an adjacent tooth filed down and a crown placed on top, the bridge is bonded to the tooth’s back surface, which helps preserve more of the healthy natural tooth structure.
The replacement tooth at Castle Dental is carefully planned to complement the shape, size, and shade of the surrounding teeth, so it blends perfectly. Once fitted, the Maryland bridge fills the visible gap, restoring both the appearance and everyday function of your smile; the entire process takes 2-3 weeks and lasts up to 15 years.
Losing a tooth affects more than just the appearance of your smile; factors like speech, chewing, function and strain on nearby teeth all play a role.
A Maryland bridge can provide a conservative way to replace a missing tooth without relying on a removable appliance like a denture. For example, a dental bridge can help:
Our dentists at Castle Dental will typically recommend a bridge after assessing your teeth, gums, and bite to ensure the supporting tooth is healthy enough to support it.
We can then look at whether a Maryland bridge is the most appropriate option to replace the gap.
A Maryland bridge is made up of a replacement tooth that’s attached to a thin supporting wing.
Unlike traditional bridgework, it avoids the need to place crowns on neighbouring teeth, as the prosthetic is bonded to the back of the supporting tooth by a wing that holds it securely in position.
Here’s how the process works:
The total cost of your bridge will depend on the number of units required and your individual treatment plan. Typically, replacing one tooth with a Maryland bridge at Castle Dental will cost £600, or £1,200 for two front teeth. Patients will need to start with a check-up exam to assess their suitability for treatment, which costs £80 for new patients and £65 for existing patients.

Directions & opening hours
Maryland dental bridges at Castle Dental cost from £600 per unit. Your dentist will assess the gap and supporting teeth first before confirming how many units are required and providing a written estimate.
A Maryland bridge is a fixed replacement for a missing tooth. The artificial tooth is attached to a thin wing, which is bonded to the back of a neighbouring natural tooth to hold it in place.
Usually, very little or no tooth preparation is required. This makes Maryland bridges a more conservative option than conventional bridges, which generally require shaping the supporting teeth for crowns.
Maryland bridge treatment is generally straightforward and minimally invasive. Because little or no drilling may be required, treatment can often be completed comfortably. Your dentist will explain exactly what your individual procedure involves beforehand.
A Maryland bridge can last for many years, but its lifespan depends on your bite, its position, oral hygiene and maintenance over time.
