Asked by, Kasun on Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:47:43 +0530

Can we have a perfect colour match of an artificial tooth of a dental bridge or an implant with the existing teeth. How much does it cost(roughly) for a bridge and an implant.

Answered by, Panel of Advosors

Dear Kasun, The present day materials have made it possible for the dentist to do a near-perfect color match in porcelain crown and bridge work. As for the costs, it varies with the treatment plan, type of material, the number of units required in the case of a bridge and with the type of implant system and the number of implants required in the case of implants if that is your preferred choice. Dental implants are usually costlier than bridges. You may discuss with your dentist the costs before undertaking treatment. The Faculty of Dental Sciences in Peradeniya offers Crown and Bridge work for a nominal fee.
