Implant Bridge Phuket

An implant-supported bridge is similar to a regular dental bridge, but it is supported by implants and not by natural teeth. In most cases, when an implant-supported bridge is used, one implant is placed in the jawbone for each missing tooth. Then the crowns are connected to each other to form one piece.2 Implant supported bridge (3 Unit Bridges)= 160,000 Baht(Astra Tech at System)

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.

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

BIDC is one of the few dental clinics in Bangkok with has its own on-site dental laboratory for porcelain crowns for immediate chair side shade selection, high quality standards and faster turnover time. Bridges are used to replace missing gaps in teeth with healthy adjacent supporting teeth. The cost of the bridge will be the number of units of crowns multiply by the cost per crown.
