A 3-unit bridge is usually $2,000–$4,000 less than a single implant up front, but implants typically last twice as long.
Washington Heights and Upper West Side typically run 8–10% below the New York City metro average for dental bridge. These areas have lower commercial rents, which clinics pass on in fees.
