Fixed Prosthesis

Crowns: Porcelain Fused to Metal

Description: 

Crowns with a thin metallic structure and a porcelain covering. These are standard crowns, and are both effective and long-lasting. They are the standard choice for back teeth, bridges and some anterior teeth. Good aesthetic.

Cost:

$380 USD per unit (includes a temporary crown and any required X-rays)

Typical Duration:

5-8 lab working days, divided in two or more visits depending on the number of crowns. If many crowns are needed, the time elapsed can be considerable. *Subject to schedule availability

Bridges: Porcelain Fused to Metal (fixed)

Description: 

Fixed bridges. These appliances are fixed prostheses made of a metallic internal structure, with porcelain coverings to cover short edentulous areas (areas without teeth). The two parts of a bridge are the “pillars” and the “pontics”. The pillars are the existing teeth to which the bridge is fixed. The pontics are the “fake teeth” that cover the edentulous area. NOTE: One bridge can consist of three or more pontics, depending on the extension of the edentulous area and the retention and support requirements of the pillars. Each pillar and pontic is considered one unit each. In some circumstances, osteintegrated titanium implants can be substituted for fixed bridges, avoiding the need for pillar preparation and crowning.

Cost: 

$380 USD per unit. 

Typical Duration: 

5-8 lab working days divided in two or more visits depending on the number of units. *Subject to schedule availability
