Many patients who are faced with tooth replacement may consider dental bridges. However, the service’s cost can leave many Azusa, California area patients avoiding the phone call to their dentist. Patients often expect that dental restorations are costly and cost more than they can afford. However, with the help of a quality dentist in the community, many patients will find that dental bridges are more affordable than ever!

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is one of many dental restorations used to replace one or more teeth that have been lost or extracted. The bridge gets its name because it “bridges the gap” left behind from a missing tooth. With dental bridges, the surrounding teeth act as anchors for each end of the restoration. A false tooth is fused between the dental crowns to complete the dental repair. The bridge is a more permanent option than a removable partial denture but a less costly option when compared to a dental implant.

Who is a candidate for a dental bridge?

Anyone who is missing one or more teeth in a row and has healthy adjacent teeth that could support a dental bridge may be considered a good candidate for dental bridges. The patient must be free from periodontal disease and cavities, which can impact the ability to place and maintain a dental bridge successfully.

How much does a dental bridge cost?

There are so many factors involved in preparing the expected cost of restorations, such as dental bridges. Some of these factors include:

• The materials used to design the dental bridge.
• The number of teeth being replaced with the dental bridge.
• If dental implants are being used on one or both sides to support the dental bridge
• The patient’s dental insurance plan and benefits can reduce out-of-pocket costs.
• Any financing options and payment plans the patient decides to utilize for their budget.
