Case Description
Due to an accident several years ago I lost a tooth. It was replaced with a bridge. Now the bridge has broken off and I had to have the other two teeth remove because of the condition of the teeth. Will I be able to have a bridge to correct this or will I need dentures? I really don't want dentures, what are my options?

When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

I am sorry to hear about your recent bridge loss and extractions. As always, it is very difficult to diagnose the situation via email or phone. Based solely on what you have described, you would have a few options. (1) dental implants (which may require bone grafting prior to placement), (2) a new bridge which I would suggest involve teeth #''''''''s 6-11 providing that teeth #''''''''s 6/11 are healthy and have healthy bone, or (3) a removable partial denture. Again, I am only going by your brief description, so it is nearly impossible to estimate an accurate cost. There may also be other issues involved with your teeth to complicate things. As a ballpark with no other complications, a removable parial denture would cost around $1500 and a new bridge (based on 6 teeth, #6-11) would cost around $6000. I hope that this helps.
