Fill the gap with a fixed replacement
A traditional bridge replaces a missing tooth by attaching a false tooth to crowns placed on the teeth on either side of the gap. It is cemented in place, so you do not take it out.
Because the neighboring teeth are reshaped to hold the bridge, a bridge is often a good choice when those teeth already need crowns. If they are healthy, a dental implant may protect them better.
A typical three-unit bridge at Saratoga Smiles costs $2,500 to $5,500. Your written estimate is based on your exam.
After a tooth is lost, the teeth beside it can tip into the space and the tooth above or below can drift. That can change your bite and make cleaning harder.
The bone where the tooth was can also shrink over time. Replacing the tooth sooner keeps more options available.

No removing it at night like a partial denture.

The Saratoga Smiles bridge process
Consultation
We examine the gap and the teeth beside it and compare a bridge with other options. New patients start with a first visit.
Your plan
You receive a written estimate and time to decide.
Preparing the teeth
The supporting teeth are numbed and shaped, and an impression or scan is taken. A temporary bridge protects them.
Lab fabrication
Your bridge is custom-made by a dental lab, typically over one to two weeks.
Final placement
We check the fit and bite, cement the bridge, and show you how to clean under it.
Fee-for-service: you get a written estimate before treatment. We are not in-network with any plan, and we help you with your out-of-network claim. Financing through Proceed Finance, Cherry, and CareCredit. Insurance and payment details
Have questions about dental bridges?
How much does a dental bridge cost?
A typical three-unit bridge at Saratoga Smiles costs $2,500 to $5,500. Your exact cost depends on your exam and materials, and you receive a written estimate first.
Is a bridge or an implant better?
It depends. A bridge is often faster and avoids surgery. An implant does not require reshaping healthy neighboring teeth and helps preserve bone. Dr. Dennis will compare both for your case.
How long do bridges last?
Bridges often last many years with good care. Daily cleaning under the bridge and regular exams help it last.
How do I clean under a bridge?
We show you how to use floss threaders or a water flosser to clean under the false tooth.
When is payment due, and can I use my insurance?
Payment is due at the time of service, and you receive a written estimate before treatment begins. Saratoga Smiles is fee-for-service and not in-network with any plan. You receive an itemized, coded statement for your out-of-network claim, our team walks you through the claim process, and your plan reimburses you directly. See insurance and payment details.
