Dental bridge?
Hi Nancy,





What you're looking for is a partial denture to replace your missing teeth. To summarize, it's usually 4-5 appointments from start to finish, and then a couple of appointments for any adjustments you may need.





In our office, for both upper and lower partials it would cost you $2790.... minus 10% if you don't have insurance as a courtesy adjustment....and the balance would need to be paid off in 6 months from the first date of treatment (preliminary impressions).





Hope this helps!
Reply:A bridge can fill in missing teeth as long as you have 2 teeth to anchor it to, one behind the space and one in front of the space. Just like a real bridge over a river, you must have it anchored on both sides. Bridges are permanently cemented in and do not come in and out. Bridges are a great way for you to fill in the space, eat and look better. If you don't have any teeth behind the space to anchor to, a partial denture would be a good option too. It will fill in the space, but not be fixed and cemented in, it will be removable. The best advice I can give you is to consult a dentist about your situation and he/she can let you know what the best option for you is. Hope this helped and good luck =)
Reply:Sounds to me as though you would be a great candidate for implants. Consulting a dentist would be a great start. They can determine how many implants you would need. good luck.
Reply:You can not have a bridge if you are missing your molars. The best way to go will be getting IMPLANTS. They look really natural . Go to your dentist. Even if you do not have enough bone, you could have a bone graft.


good luck
