5 dental crowns for my upper teeth

Q. I was recently quoted for 5 dental crowns on my upper front teeth and a bridge between two of the teeth. When they went to install the crowns it turned out they made one big bridge. Is this something that is normally done? I am concerned Im not getting what I paid for because I paid for 5 individual crowns?

A. Generally you pay per unit- whether that is for single crowns or for the false parts of a bridge.  It sounds as though your dentist has been completely fair
