i wanted 5 crowns and got a 5 unit bridge

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. A 5 unit bridge would cost the smae as 5 crowns. Sometimes it can cost more. Each unit of the bridge can be the same as the crown fee so don’t worry that you have been overharged. It would be a good idea to ask your dentist why all of them were stuck together though. It may have been for strength or to spint your teeth together if they were loose.
Kind regards
