All Ceramic Crown Cost

Crowns are a type of dental restoration that is placed onto the part of a tooth above the gum line or onto a dental implant.

A bridge is a dental restauration made of two or more crowns. They can be used for partial or complete restorations, but in every case, they need to be supported at least on two points to ensure their stability. Bridges are generally supported by natural teeth, but they can also be placed onto implants (artificial roots).

In case just one tooth is missing, the two adjacent teeth can be used as abutment to support the bridge. After the preparation and reduction of the two supporting teeth, an impression is taken, and then, the cast is sent to the laboratory to construct the three-unit bridge. The middle unit of the bridge replaces the missing tooth and the two adjacent units are fixed onto the prepared teeth for stability. The bridge is bonded to the teeth with a special dental cement.

The complete bridge can be an ideal solution if the majority or all of the patient’s teeth is missing, that is not aesthetic. If the patient has no tooth at all, the bridge needs to be placed onto implants (the cost of implants and abutments are not included in the below estimates.
