what is the average cost for a one unit dental bridge in Phoenix AZ?

Answer 1

No such thing as a 'one unit bridge'... Thats a 'Crown'!

And a crowns cost can vary place to place. The bigger the city, the more funds it'll cost. Phoenix is big... I'd guess around $700, for a basic PFM which is a porcelain-fused- to metal. An all Porcelain crown or Ceramic Crown, will be more.

Now.. if your infact talking about a 'bridge' it's 3 units. You can have 2 units, called a Maryland Bridge, but i havent seen those done in 10 years. Thats old school... they just dont do them anymore! Basically they were crap, they broke/break to easily. Anyways back to the 3 unit or higher bridges... Basically your cost will be based on how many units are envolved. Rule of thumb is, for a 3 unit.. its the cost of a single unit crown x 3. For a 4 unit would be cost of single unit x4... and so on....... The more units you get, some offices give you a slight discount for each unit. Example.. instead of being 700 a unit, it could be around 650 or 675 a unit, since your getting more than 1. does that make sense? lol....

Answer 2

A one unit bridge is called a crown. I'm guessing that if you called ten different dentist in that area. they would all laugh their asses off at the question.
By its very definition a bridge is minimum 3 units. Unless you do something called a Maryland bridge. then you might get away with a two unit bridge. A bridge is connected via neighboring teeth a two points(units) and then their is the tooth/teeth in the middle minimum 1 unit. that's a total of three(minimum).

Answer 3

call 10 different offices in your area, and then do the math

question for you: do you want good quality work done, or the cheapest???

Something to think about.

ps.. there is no such thing as a 'one unit' bridge - that would be a crown...

Answer 4

she could be referring to a maryland bridge which traditionally is replacing one tooth although i have done them replacing 2 though its rare to do so.
