cost of dental bridge

One or more missing teeth can negatively affect the appearance and functionality of your smile. Missing teeth can cause a change in occlusion, shifting of the teeth, temporomandibular joint disorder, speech impediments, an increased risk for paradontose and a greater chance of tooth decay. Typically, conventional and cantilever fixed bridges imitate shaping of the teeth surrounding a missing tooth.

The dental bridge cost depends on the amount of dental crowns in the restoration, the types of crowns being used and of course, the part of the country that the work is being done in. Cosmetic dentists usually charge per unit. A unit represents one tooth in the restoration, either a false tooth (also called pontic) or a dental bridge crown. For example, if the restoration is replacing only one lost tooth and two teeth are used on each side of the open space, then there are three units included in this dental work.

The dental bridge cost also relates to the type of crowns being used. An all porcelain bridge is generally the most expensive. A porcelain fused to gold restoration is mildly cheaper. Sometimes there is a medley of crown types in the same restoration. For example, the very back crown in a restoration is often a crown made from gold. The other crown that are more forward in the mouth are generally made using porcelain since they can be seen by others people.

The dental bridge cost varies from about $ 650 to $ 1,500 per unit depending on the used materials and the part of the country that you live in. Most of restorations involve three units and you have to pay about $2000 to $4500 for one bridge (because you multiple the cost per unit by three). The more units bring about the more expensive the bridge cost.
