What is a crown or bridge?
A crown or bridge is a fixed replacement for a missing tooth. A crown is a cap placed over a damaged or broken tooth, while a bridge has several crowns fixed to adjacent teeth or implants. Both options can help make your teeth attractive and functional again.
The cost of a crown
The cost of a crown can vary depending on the material and the complexity of the treatment. At Dental House Zierikzee we work with the latest technology and materials, so we can always offer you the best possible option.
A zirconia crown, for example, is more expensive than a metal one, but has the advantage of looking better and resisting discolouration. At Dental House Zierikzee we can also use CEREC technology, which allows us to place your crown in a single appointment. That means no extra cost for a temporary crown and no need to visit the practice several times.
The cost of a bridge
With a bridge it is important to know that the cost depends on how many crowns are needed to replace your missing teeth. A bridge can therefore be more expensive than a single crown, but this depends on your specific situation.
The materials and technologies used also play a part in the price here. At Dental House Zierikzee we work with high-quality materials and advanced technology, so we can always offer you the best possible option.
Reimbursement for a crown or bridge
Many people wonder whether they can get a crown or bridge reimbursed. This is possible through your health insurance, but you do need supplementary cover. The level of reimbursement varies by insurer and depends on your supplementary package, so it is wise to check this with your health insurer in advance.
Tips for saving on costs
We of course understand that a crown or bridge can be a significant expense. Here are a few tips for keeping costs down:
- Maintain good oral hygiene: looking after your teeth properly can prevent problems such as cavities and gum disease, which may mean fewer treatment costs in future.
- Book regular check-ups at Dental House Zierikzee: seeing the dentist regularly means any problems can be found and treated early, so larger procedures can be avoided.
- Ask your dentist for advice: if you are worried about the cost of a treatment, do discuss it with your dentist. Together we can look at the options and which one best suits your situation.
