Dental Bridges Cost
Pittsburgh Dental Crown BridgeAnother name for a bridge is a fixed bridge, which is a false tooth (pontic) between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area of a missing tooth. The best way to picture this is the two crowns are the supports of the bridge, and the middle section between the two supports is the false tooth. The goal is to replace the voided areas that have no teeth but are between teeth. There can be one or many teeth missing between teeth. A fixed bridge cannot be removed on a daily basis, and is cemented into your mouth by a dentist. Fixed bridges are used in places of the mouth where you chew the most food.

Pittsburgh Bridge DentistSome Facts about Dental Crown Dentists :
| In other areas of the mouth that is not used as much to chew food, such as the front teeth, a cantilever bridge may be used instead of a fixed bridge. This kind of bridge is used when teeth are on one side of the voided space where there was a tooth at one time. Bridges can last as much as ten years but also require your attention for more detail to your oral hygiene. |

Your SpecialistSome Facts about the process :
| Bridges can help reduce the possibilities of additional tooth decay, but also replaces the area where there are no teeth. As with any tooth loss, it is highly suggested something be placed in the gaps because eventually over time the teeth on both sides will lean at an angle towards the empty space. Think of your teeth as a set of dominoes. If you have the last domino leaning against something that wont let the last chip fall down, then for the most part the dominoes still will be pointed upward. But once you remove the item holding them up, they will all crash at an angle inwards to the voided area. |

ProfessionalInitial Visit :
At the initial visit, the surrounding teeth are numbed with a local anesthetic. The dentist then must prepare the surrounding teeth by cleaning any plaque or decay that remains and reducing them so that the dental crowns can be fitted.
The dentist makes a mold of the teeth and sends it off to a dental lab, where the customized impression is prepared. The customized mold takes usually takes about two weeks to return to the office.
During this time, patients are fitted with a temporary bridge constructed of acrylic resin.

When the patient returns to the dental office, the dentist removes the temporary bridge and replaces it with the permanent one. The dentist then adjusts the bridge for the proper bite and fit, and the bridge is permanently bonded into the mouth. |

Many expect the cost of a bridge to be a fixed cost, just like if they were to buy a bottle of pop from a pop machine. There are a few variables that effect the cost and they are the where you live, how many teeth are missing, and which kind of bridge will you be using. On average a bridge cost is between $650 to $950 per tooth. This is only for the bridge, and not the dental services needed to install the bridge correctly, the cost to install the bridge averages to about $450 per support side. In many cases, dental insurance picks up half of the cost. |

| Whatever the decision you decide to pursue, it may be a good idea to first consult with a dentist and find out if there are any side effects before proceeding with your selected option. Your teeth may become sensitive to hot or cold foods, and in many cases the sensitivity is only temporary. And if you understand the side effects, it can only help you to determine if something else is not the way it should be.
