Improve Dental Function with Bridges

Dental bridges have been around for a long time and remain a solid alternative to dental implants. Bridges are false teeth that replace teeth in a gap between two healthy teeth, literally bridging the tooth gap. This allows for complete chewing function while looking like natural teeth. Bridges are cheaper than implants and often completely paid for by insurance, whereas some dental insurance doesn’t pay the total bill for implants.

What to Expect in Emergency Dentistry

Emergency dentistry offers services that identify the issue and reduce pain until you can see your regular dentist. It can also treat immediate problems, depending on the severity and the situation.

Typically, an emergency dental appointment will include an exam and an X-ray. The dentist will perform some triage procedures as required, like stitching up a gum, before sending you home. They will prescribe antibiotics and painkillers as needed for infection or injury.

The Difference Between a Bridge and an Implant

The difference between a dental bridge and an implant is a bridge doesn’t replace the tooth root while a post used in an implant serves as the root. The bridge is anchored in the space by crowns put on the two teeth on each side, called abutment teeth. With implants, the bridge is anchored on its own by the post going into the jawbone.

Cost of a Dental Bridge

The cost of getting a dental bridge is cheaper than an implant. Implants can cost between $4,000 and $6,000 per tooth while the cost of a dental bridge ranges from $1,000 to $5,000. We can check your insurance to determine how much out-of-pocket cost there will be for each option and create a treatment plan for you.

When a Dental Bridge Is the Best Option

Getting a dental bridge isn’t always about cost. It is also about function and prior dental history. A dental bridge should be considered if you have been missing teeth and haven’t had a bone graft to do an implant. It should also be considered if you want replacement teeth sooner than waiting a few months after an extension for an implant or if your jawbone doesn’t have enough density to ever get an implant.
