Tooth Bridge Cost and Alternatives That Won't Break Your Bank
Dental bridges are a very common option when it comes to replacing missing teeth, but they are no longer considered to be the best in terms of durable, long lasting results that look and feel like real teeth. That said, it is important for you to build a better understanding of the options that are available to you so that you can choose the option that is best suited for your specific needs and situation—namely, Stabili-Teeth™, an alternative to fixed detachables like All-On-4 and Clear Choice that provides stunning same-day results at half the price.
Methods of replacing missing teeth vary when it comes to pricing, results, and durability, and learning more about each option can help you weigh the pros and cons of different methods.
Many conventional methods of replacing teeth are either not long lasting, or are very long lasting but come at unreasonably high prices, making it difficult to find an option that will help you bring joy back into your life without breaking your budget.
The fact of the matter is that enjoying a functional smile that gives you your confidence back does not have to come with a hassle, and if traditional methods are not matching your priorities, Stabili-Teeth™ has the solution with same day results at half the cost. If you’ve been dreaming of eating the foods you once loved with replacement teeth that stay in your mouth, look natural, and won’t break the bank, Stabili-Teeth™ is the right choice for you.
What Types of Dental Bridges Are There? How Do They Vary in Cost?
When it comes to dental bridges, there are a few different options available to you, and understanding how these options differ can help you determine which one may be a passable option for you. Still, no dental bridge can compare to the value or functionality of Stabili-Teeth™.
All dental bridges are made up of the same components: abutment teeth and pontics. The abutment teeth are the teeth in your mouth that are adjacent to the gaps that will be filled by your bridge, and these adjacent teeth will be prepared prior to your bridge being placed.
Generally, the preparation of these teeth will entail them either being grinded down or otherwise prepared with caps or crowns so that they can properly anchor and support your bridge. The pontics are the false teeth that make up the bridge and work to fill the gaps in your mouth, and they attach to your abutment teeth.
This may be a major downside for many individuals considering dental bridges, as this process will ruin some of your remaining teeth. As your jawbone wears down over time, you’ll need to continue widening your dental bridge at the cost of your surrounding teeth—a never-ending cycle of healthy tooth destruction. Stabili-Teeth™ gives you back teeth that function, feel, and look like your natural teeth, without the hassle or the high price tag of bridges.
The four main types of dental bridges available to you are as follows:
Traditional fixed bridges: Traditional fixed bridges are the most commonly used type of dental bridge, and they are generally made up of two or more crowns and a filler tooth or teeth, all of which are connected. The crowns work to keep the bridge in place, and this type of bridge is most often made of metal, porcelain fused to metal, or some form of ceramics.
Cantilever bridges: Cantilever bridges have a pontic that only connects to one abutment tooth rather than multiple, and this type of bridge may be a better option for patients who only have teeth remaining on one side of the gap in their mouth.
Resin-bonded bridges: Resin-bonded bridges are also sometimes referred to as Maryland dental bridges, and this is the type of bridge that is often used for patients who are missing their front teeth. This type of bridge is made of porcelain fused to metal or some form of ceramic, and it is supported by a framework with wings on either side of the bridge. These wings then attach to your existing teeth so that the bridge is held securely in place.
Implant-supported bridges: This type of bridge is similar in functionality to a traditional fixed bridge, but it is held in place by implants as opposed to being bonded or cemented in place.
The Cost of Dental Bridges
The cost of your dental bridge will depend on several factors, including how many teeth are missing from the gap that you are hoping to fill. However, the price can also depend on the materials used to create the bridge as well as the location of the gap in your mouth.
On average, the price of a dental bridge is around $2,500, but the cost can range to as high as $16,000 depending on your situation. Thus, dental bridges are certainly not a very affordable option, and considering the fact that they are also imperfect when it comes to stability and durability, bridges may not be the most ideal choice. Stabili-Teeth™ offers stability, durability, and beauty at half the price of dental bridges, making them a much better option for people searching for the best modern tooth replacement procedure.
What Other Methods of Tooth Replacement Exist? What Do They Cost?
If dental bridges do not seem like the best fit for your needs, there are still a couple of other conventional methods of replacing teeth. Dentures have long been used as a method of tooth replacement, but they are no longer considered to be one of the best options. However, dentures may be more affordable than dental bridges, even though they lack stability and durability.
Dentures are made up of a plastic base and framework with prosthetic teeth attached, they can be made to be removable or secured in place. Dentures are, however, very prone to breakage, and it is also important for you to follow a careful routine of cleaning and care to keep your dentures in good condition. Thus, unlike Stabili-Teeth™, dentures generally need to be replaced every few years, and this can make them more expensive than other options in the long run.
Alternatively, dental implants are another method of replacing your missing teeth, and while this method of replacing teeth generally offers better stability and comfort, implants are also much more expensive than other conventional methods of tooth replacement. Implants can be used to replace one tooth or multiple teeth, but it is important to keep in mind that implants generally cost several thousand dollars per implant, meaning that if you want to replace multiple teeth, the price can add up quickly.
Implants are known to provide patients with a look and functionality that is close to that of normal teeth, but with such a high cost upfront, conventional dental implants may not be the most realistic option for many patients. More specifically, the cost for dental implants can range from around $1,500 to $6,000 per implant, meaning that a full mouth of implants may cost you about $40,000 depending on your situation. Stabili-Teeth™ offers a natural-looking, functional smile at half the cost of implants, and without the painful, long procedures associated with implants.
It is important for you to have enough natural jawbone in order to support the implants, and if your natural bone is insufficient you will need to undergo an extra procedure known as bone grafting. Bone grafting procedures work to add onto your jawbone to make sure that your dental implants will be properly supported, and these procedures often cost extra.
A Modern and Affordable Solution
If you are looking for a way to replace your missing teeth with great results but no high costs or surprise fees, Stabili-Teeth™ may be the solution for you.
Stabili-Teeth™ was created as an alternative to the FIXED DETACHABLES (as in Clear Choice or All-on-Four) because although Fixed Detachables work great, the cost remains very high.
Stabili-Teeth™ builds off of the concepts that have been successful and improve upon the aspects of a fixed detachable that have failed in the past, at half the cost of its predecessor.
Stabili-Teeth™ utilizes a unique combination of narrow diameter and conventional implants to make for an easier surgery, and installing prosthetic teeth on the day of your surgery ensures that you will not be left without functional teeth during the healing process. Gain the beautiful, functional, stable teeth of your dreams, at the price of your dreams.
Stabili-Teeth™ also comes with a 5-year warranty and at an all-inclusive price of $12,500 for one arch or $21,500 for full-mouth restoration.
If you are ready to get your life back, Stabili-Teeth™ has the solution with same day results at half the cost.
The Bottom Line
If you have missing teeth and are looking to get them replaced, dental bridges are one conventional method that has long been used. Dental bridges work to fill the gaps in your mouth where you have missing teeth, but they require your adjacent teeth, known as the abutment teeth, to be prepared through a grinding process or the placement of caps or crowns. Dental bridges also do not offer the same stability as more modern methods, and they tend to be very expensive.
Alternatives to dental bridges include dentures and dental implants, but dentures are infamous for being prone to breakage and damage, and conventional dental implants tend to cost thousands of dollars per tooth, making them a pricey choice.
If you are looking for a modern, yet affordable solution that gets you amazing results fast, Stabili-Teeth™ is here to help. Smile freely, indulge in your favorite foods, and live your life to the fullest with Stabili-Teeth™’.
