What is the cost difference compared with individual implants?

A 3-unit bridge on 2 implants costs €6,000 to €9,000. Individual crowns (3 implants plus crowns) cost €9,000 to €12,000. The saving comes from fewer implants and less laboratory work. Larger bridges (4 to 5 teeth) offer a greater relative saving. Exception: bridges with a cantilever require additional reinforcement. Insurers often reimburse both options equally (50 to 80% of the maximum). Dental technology costs fall thanks to standardised components. Maintenance costs are comparable over the lifespan. An ideal choice where the budget is limited and several teeth are missing.
