The dental bridge cost depends on the number of dental crowns in the restoration, the types of crowns being used and of course, the area of the country that the work is being done in. Dentists usually charge per unit. A unit represents one tooth in the restoration, either a false tooth (pontic) or a dental bridge crown( abutment ). For example, if the restoration is replacing one lost tooth and two teeth are used on each side of the open space, then there are three units involved in this dental work.

          The dental bridge cost also relates to the type of crowns used. An all porcelain bridge is generally more expensive than a porcelain fused to gold restoration. Sometimes there is a mixture of crown types in the same restoration. For example, the very back crown in a restoration is often a gold crown. The other crown that are more forward in the mouth are generally made using porcelain since they can be seen.

          The dental bridge cost varies from about $ 650 to $ 1,500 per unit depending on the materials and the area of the country that you live in. Most of restorations involve three units. If you multiple the cost per unit by three, you get the range of $ 1,900 to $ 4,500 for one bridge. The more units involved, the more expensive the bridge.
