3-Unit Bridge Phuket

PFM type All ceramic type

Dental bridges are used to replace missing gaps. The cost of bridges is dependent on the number of units of crowns within the bridge.

Traditional fixed bridge: With this dental bridge, three crowns are fused together to replace the middle tooth of the three. Traditional fixed bridges are the most common type of dental bridge.Dental bridge costs vary depending on several factors, including type and/or material of the bridge, the length of your “span,” or the number of teeth being replaced. 3 Unit Bridges: All ceramic = 33,000-39,000  Baht3 Unit Bridges: Porcelain fused to metal = 21,000-54,000 Baht3 Unit Bridges: Full metal= 21,000-60,000 Baht

A bridge, also known as a fixed denture, is made to replace one or more missing teeth. Bridge can be supported in any of three ways: 1.By natural teeth 2.By implants 3.By a combination of teeth and implants. A traditional bridge is made by creating a crown for the teeth on either side of the space and placing a false tooth or teeth between the crown. The crowns, sometimes called caps, can be supported by natural teeth or by implants. The false tooth or teeth are attached to the crowns and fill the empty space.If the teeth receiving the crowns are healthy and strong, they probably will not need root canal therapy. However, parts of the teeth will be removed to make space for the crowns. Traditional bridges are made either of porcelain fused to metal (PFM) or ceramics.Getting a bridge requires at least two visits, but often more. At the first visit, your dentist prepares the teeth and covers them with temporary crowns. The dentist may also make impressions of the teeth.The bridge is placed at later visits. On average, bridges last five to seven years. A major reason bridges fail is that new cavities develop on the supporting teeth. These cavities occur because of poor oral hygiene. With proper hygiene, which includes flossing your teeth under the bridge, they will last longer.Length of stay (in Phuket) : Around 8 – 14 daysThe number of visits : 2 – 3 visitsNote: This is the estimation without root canal treatmentDental bridge costs vary depending on several factors, including type and/or material of the bridge, the length of your “span,” or the number of teeth being replaced.

The Maryland dental bridge is one of a few types of bridges used to replace teeth. Named for the University of Maryland, where it was developed, this bridge is resin-retained and commonly used to replace the front teeth. A pontic (false tooth) is attached to metal bands that are hidden with a white-colored composite resin and attached to the back sides of the teeth on either side of the pontic.A Maryland bridge consists of a metal framework with a porcelain tooth baked on to the front of the framework. The framework then ends up as a false tooth with two metal wings on the side. These metal wings are prepared to have a porous surface so that they can receive a bonding agent, and then the wings are bonded to the back sides of the teeth on either side of the missing tooth. The picture on the right shows how this looks. Maryland bridge = 33,000 Baht
