Dental Bridge Cost?

HOW MUCH is a 4 tooth top font bridge??





I paid under $2000 the last two times and they booth lasted over 10 years, moreover look perfect.





My insurance pays up to half up to a max of $1,500.





My new dentist wants $700 a tooth for $2,800.





Is that a good deal? What is the going price in and out of USA?

Dental Bridge Cost?
Hi! Be glad your not in the NYC/NJ area. That bridge would cost you at least 6000.00. Some dentists charge as much as 2500.00 per a unit. Get it while you can!! Most Ins. here don't even pay half. M
Reply:HELLO,


COST OF $700 PER TOOTH IS A FAIR PRICE. THERE IS A VARIED PRICE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND IN DIFFERENT NEIGHBOR HOODS IN TOWN.


THE AVERAGE LONGEVITY OF A DENTAL BRIDGE IS ABOUT 12 YEARS, SO FOR YOU THIS IS ABOUT RIGHT.
Reply:I was just told by an oral surgeon to expect to pay about $1,000 per tooth in a bridge. I need a bridge with 4 teeth so I'm looking at around 4 grand. I live in central Illinois. Your deal sounds pretty good to me.
Reply:My 4 tooth bridge was a couple of years ago and it was around $2200.00 at that time. My insurance picked up about 1/2 the tab.
Reply:Well it depends on which type of bridge you get 700 a tooth sounds like a porcelain fused to gold crown. which is a good choice. If it is a anterior bridge or "front" you might consider something like a lava bridge which is zircona with porcelain on the top. It can be pricey but you will like the end result. However the porcelain fused to gold bridge is still an excellent choice. I reccomend staying away from anything with base metal in it. That can irritate the gum tissue and cause the gums to recede also causing a purple marking at the gumline. In my office we charge 700 for porcelain fused to gold. I hope I helped. Best of luck.
