All-ceramic or all-porcelain Crowns
Dental Implants
Dental bridge
At first, it appears that a bridge is the more economical route, with total fees for a typical implant starting higher. But when comparing cost versus value, dental implant is more cost effective and better long term treatment option – if the patient is a candidate for implants.
