When a tooth is extracted, it leaves an empty space in the jaw. A dental bridge fills that empty space. A dental bridge is made up of two or more tooth crowns.
A dental bridge replaces the missing tooth with a fixed fake tooth. A dental bridge is placed in the mouth with the support of two teeth that are adjacent to the missing tooth. The two teeth hold the bridge while the false tooth fills the gap.
If the space left after tooth extraction is not filled, then it will cause other teeth to fall soon.

There are two types of dental bridge: Zirconia and Porcelain with Metal.
Zirconia dental bridge is the strongest and best tooth crown. It has no metal in it and therefore looks like a natural
tooth. It is more expensive than porcelain dental bridge. We use zirconia tooth dental bridge in all treatments.
A porcelain dental bridge is made by putting a layer of porcelain (ceramic) over a metal crown. It is
cheaper than zirconia dental bridge and has high strength. These are better than metal and acrylic tooth crowns.
A dental bridge is made of multiple tooth crowns. Therefore, the total cost of of a dental bridge is calculated by multiplying the cost of one tooth crown with the total number of tooth crowns in a dental bridge.
The average cost of a tooth crown (zirconia) is $ 1260 in USA and $ 90 outside of USA at our clinic.
Total cost of a dental bridge in France = $ 1260 X total number of tooth crowns
Total cost of a dental bridge outside of France = $ 90 X total number of tooth crowns
Example, for a dental bridge made from 3 tooth crowns, the cost will be:
Type | Tooth Crowns |
Calculation |
Total |
|---|---|---|---|
Cost in USA | 3 | $ 1260 X 3 | $ 3780 |
Cost outside of USA | 3 | $ 90 X 3 | $ 270 |
$ 1260 X 3 | : $ 3780 |
$ 90 X 3 | : $ 270 |
A dental bridge is very expensive in location_name, but you can save a lot of money by traveling to an affordable location outside of location_country for 4-5 days for the treatment.
For example, at our_clinic, the cost of a dental bridge made of 3 tooth crowns (zirconia) is $ 270 which is 14 times lower than the average cost of $ 3780 in location_name. So, you can save a lot of money, and at the same time enjoy a free holiday trip.

A dental bridge is placed in 2 days in two parts.
First Visit: After a surgery on the tooth like implant or root canal treatment, the dentist takes an impression of the mouth. It takes 20-30 minutes. Dental bridge is made in 1-2 days.
Second Visit: After a gap of 2 days, in the second visit, the dental bridge is permanently glued to the teeth surface using a very strong chemical. It takes 30-40 minutes to apply a dental bridge.
A CAD / CAM (Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing) machine is used to manufacture a tooth crown. This machine uses computer based technology to quickly and accurately create a tooth crown.
This machine can make zirconia (ceramic) tooth crowns, veneers, lumineers and dental bridge.
An intraoral scanner takes a 3D image of the mouth. This 3D image is directly sent to the CAD / CAM machine that makes the zirconia tooth crown. The tooth crown is made in 4-5 hours that perfectly fits on the tooth.
A dental implant is the best option to replace a lost tooth. However, there are cheaper alternatives to implants: dental bridge and partial denture.
A dental bridge is used to fill the gap left by a missing tooth. It is made of two or more crowns. It is held in place by the two adjacent teeth which are on the either side of the missing teeth. The two teeth hold the bridge while the false tooth fills the gap.
A missing tooth is a serious thing. Teeth are made to function together. When you lose a tooth, the adjacent teeth may drift into the empty space.Teeth present in the opposite jaw may also shift up or down. This can affect your bite and place more stress on your teeth, causing pain and damage.
Teeth that have drifted are also harder to clean which makes it a higher risk for tooth decay or gum disease.
When a tooth is missing, the surrounding bone may shrink. If that happens, it may change the way your face look. Dental bridge maintains the proper shape of bite and maintains proper shape of the face.
A fixed bridge means that your dentist uses existing natural teeth on both sides of your missing tooth to help hold your bridge in place. Placing a bridge will take more than one dental visit.
