Of course as you say, finding a dentist will ing to do the job for NHS pay
is the most difficult part.
There are also issues over the cost depending on what benefits you get, and
all of that.
I used what is called the Community dentist. Many CCGs fund this as they
can do dentistry in the homes if required, but often have a clinic in a
local doctors or hospital.

Might be worth contacting either Healthwatch in your area, or the CCG
directly.
They can usually supply you with a list of dentists which will do it under
the nhs charges.

Just received an email from my dentist.

"If a bridge were an appropriate and viable treatment for you and you
fitted the NHS criteria then it would come under a Band 3 NHS charge"

No indication as to what the criteria are of course
