Dental Bridge Cost in Dubai 2026: Types, Prices & Alternatives

Dental Bridge Cost in Dubai

A dental bridge in Dubai costs between AED 3,000 and AED 12,000, depending on the type of bridge, number of teeth replaced, and materials used. Bridges remain a popular and reliable way to replace one or more missing teeth without surgery.

Price by Bridge Type

|------------|-------------------|----------|

Traditional bridge (3 units)	3,000 – 8,000	Replacing 1-2 teeth with healthy teeth on both sides
Maryland bridge (resin-bonded)	2,000 – 5,000	Front teeth, minimal preparation
Cantilever bridge	2,500 – 6,000	When only one adjacent tooth is available
Implant-supported bridge	15,000 – 40,000	Replacing 3+ teeth without grinding healthy teeth

Price by Material

|----------|---------------|------------|------------|

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM)	1,000 – 2,000	Good	10-15 years
E-max	2,000 – 3,500	Excellent	15+ years
Zirconia	1,500 – 3,000	Very good	15+ years

Note: A 3-unit bridge (replacing 1 tooth) uses 3 crowns — 2 on the supporting teeth and 1 for the missing tooth (pontic). So multiply the per-unit cost by 3.

How Does a Dental Bridge Work?

A traditional dental bridge works by:

Preparing the teeth on either side of the gap (grinding them down for crowns)

Taking impressions or digital scans

Placing a temporary bridge while the lab makes the permanent one

Cementing the permanent bridge 1-2 weeks later

The entire process typically requires 2-3 visits over 2-3 weeks.

Bridge vs. Implant: Which Is Better?

|--------|--------------|----------------|

Cost	AED 3,000-8,000	AED 5,000-15,000
Surgery required	No	Yes
Affects adjacent teeth	Yes (grinding)	No
Lifespan	10-15 years	20+ years (often lifetime)
Bone preservation	No	Yes
Cleaning difficulty	Moderate (need floss threaders)	Same as natural teeth

Choose a bridge if: You want a faster, non-surgical option, have healthy adjacent teeth that could benefit from crowns anyway, or aren't a candidate for implants.

Choose an implant if: You want the longest-lasting solution, don't want to modify healthy teeth, or are replacing a single tooth with healthy neighbors.

When Is a Bridge Not Recommended?

Adjacent teeth are weak or have large fillings (can't support the bridge)

Multiple consecutive teeth are missing (3+ in a row)

You grind your teeth heavily (high failure risk)

The gap has been present for years and bone has receded significantly

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

Floss under the bridge daily — Use a floss threader, superfloss, or water flosser

Brush twice daily — Pay extra attention to where the bridge meets the gum

Avoid hard and sticky foods — Can dislodge or damage the bridge

Regular dental checkups — Every 6 months to check the bridge and surrounding teeth

Night guard if you grind — Protects the bridge from excessive force

Best Clinics for Dental Bridges

Look for clinics with experienced prosthodontists (specialists in tooth replacement) and quality dental labs. Deira and Bur Dubai offer the most competitive pricing, while DHCC and Downtown have many specialist prosthodontists.
