Implant vs Bridge Cost
in Phoenix, AZ
At Sonoran Dental Arts in Phoenix a dental implant starts at $2,000 and a dental bridge starts at $3,000, so the implant is the lower fee up front. Starting fees for a straightforward case. Dr. Field confirms your exact price in writing after an exam.

The bone at the site decides what is possible. An exam settles it, and you get both prices in writing.

The two fees
An implant at this practice is $2,000–$2,400. A bridge is from $3,000. People often assume the bridge is the budget option, and on this fee schedule it is not.
What the bridge does to the teeth beside the gap
A bridge fills one space by crowning the tooth on each side and hanging the replacement between them. Those two teeth have to be reshaped to take the crowns, so enamel comes off teeth that were not the problem. An implant goes into the bone in the gap and leaves its neighbours alone.
The part that shows up years later
A bridge depends on the two teeth carrying it. If either one develops decay or a crack under its crown, the bridge usually has to come off, and what replaces it is a larger job than the first one was. An implant has no neighbouring teeth to lose. That is what people mean when they call an implant cheaper over time, and here it is also cheaper on day one.
What decides it in your mouth
How much bone is at the site. An implant needs enough of it, and a gap that has been empty for years often has less than it did. Grafting can build it back, which adds to the estimate, and why an implant quote moves covers that in full. Dr. Field checks this during the exam and gives you the figure for either route before you choose.
Full pricing is on the dental implant cost page, and the dental bridge page covers the treatment itself.
Common questions
Is an implant or a bridge cheaper in Phoenix?
At Sonoran Dental Arts the implant is lower up front: $2,000–$2,400 against from $3,000 for a bridge.
Does a bridge damage the teeth next to the gap?
It requires them to be reshaped so they can take crowns, which means removing healthy enamel from two teeth that were not causing trouble.
Why would anyone choose a bridge then?
Usually the bone. If the site cannot hold an implant and you would rather not have a graft, a bridge is the route that works.
Can I have an implant later if I get a bridge now?
Often, though the bone at the site decides it. Dr. Field can tell you after an exam.
