How Much Does a Dental "Bridge" Costs?

[Kommander_KornFlakes]

How many of you have had a dental bridge put on? You know, like when you have a missing molar and a fake one is inserted supported by the two on either side.

Tomorrow I'm getting my tooth pulled out because it's destroyed, it split in half, my dentist told me to yank it out so she can put a bridge later on.

Some questions, how long before they can put the bridge in the missing spot?

How much will it cost? My insurance only covers removeable bridges but I want a permanent one. I don't care if I have to complement the rest with my own money.

under $1333.72 as that is the max at the endodontist for a root canal.

i might be gettin the similar operation on wednesday. will let u know the price if it is the same thing..

Out here it would be an arm and half a leg. Had three root canals a couple years ago, they were about $1300 each, one was a surgical root canal, that was even more. Then there's the crowns at $800 each. By the time they were done having a go at me, I was out over $10k.

How much does it cost to remove a wisdom tooth?

I want to say $1,000-$2,000. But I'm not really sure.

My parents dental plan paid for my bridge, so I"m not really sure what mine cost. I've got a bridge with two fake teeth (both teeth to the side of my front two teeth).

Though the bridge itself was probably less than the braces and years, and years of other dental work to prepare for the bridge itself.

Really? I think I have enough money in my yearly dental coverage for up to $1,000, I don't mind paying the other $300 with my own money..... but if pushes comes to shoves in my parents' home country a bridge costs around $200ish. and yes you are correct, $800 is the exact price for a crown, I had one put on and it has broken 2 times when eating bagels.

The removal of a wisdom tooth is about $110 or $160, can't remember.

What's so special about a bridge that they have to prepare so much?

When I saw your post about your work costing 10k I thought of this :

Out of curiousity, how much would a ticket to your parents' home country cost?

$700 average, but if it's in the month of December about $1,000.

I have family living in Virginia,USA. My uncle had to do a major overhaul of his teeth, it was going to run him about $8,000. What he did is that he took himself, his wife and his two kids to his country and did the entire work over there for about $650 plus $3,000 airfares for 4 people = $3,650 total..... he saved about $4,400 bucks plus had a vacation for his entire family as a bonus.

Even if you pay hotel for 2-3 days you will save over 80% in dental costs if you do it in one of these "3rd world" countries than in Canada.

What country is that? I've been thinking of having an implant done and my dentist told me it would cost me in the neighbourhood of $4000 for one tooth. It might be worth it for me to take a vacation to have this done.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction with IV Sedation will run you up $2000 with change.

Can I ask why you would ask here? Why not just ask a few dentists???
