What's it worth to u: The matter of expense really depends on what it's worth for you to keep your teeth. Often times we have to make personal investments in our health. Whether or not you choose to do this, is entirely up to you, as 'expense' is a personal opinion. Some people find the alternative option of not having teeth to be much more 'expensive' for them.

Relative: Expense is relative. Depends on a person's priorities. Fees differ so it is best to simply ask your provider about expense. Your other choice would be extraction and missing teeth can affect your overall health. Best to keep your natural teeth if possible. Next best solution is to replace missing teeth.
