03Cost and insurance

What it costs

$2,000–$5,000 for a three-unit bridge

Typical range in the US without insurance (2026 consumer cost guides). Your own estimate comes after the exam, in writing, before anything is done.

The cost depends on the number of teeth and the material.

Dental insurance
Many PPO plans cover part of this treatment. We check your benefits and give you a written estimate before anything is done.
Monthly payments
Third-party financing such as CareCredit lets you spread the cost, if you’d like.
No insurance?
Ask about our membership plan: checkups, cleanings and X-rays for a yearly fee, plus a discount on treatment.

05How we work

Our clinical standards

The details that make a difference to how this treatment is done — and why we do them.

  • All options on the table

    Before a bridge, we explain the alternatives — an implant, a partial denture, or leaving the space — with their pros, cons and costs.

  • Digital scan and precise fit

    Bridges are designed from a 3D scan and checked for a tight seal at every edge.

  • Cleaning under the bridge

    We show you how to clean under it with a threader or water flosser before you leave.

  • Your bite checked before you leave

    We test how your teeth meet — biting and sliding side to side — and adjust until it feels like your own tooth.

06Is it for you

When a bridge makes sense

A bridge can replace one or two missing teeth when the neighbouring teeth are healthy enough to support it — or already need crowns.

We’ll compare it honestly with an implant and a partial denture, including cost and how long each usually lasts.

08Questions

Questions patients ask

All questions

An implant doesn’t involve the neighbouring teeth and can last longer; a bridge is quicker and often costs less upfront. We’ll go through both with you.

With a floss threader, special floss or a water flosser — we’ll show you.
