Factors That Affect The Cost Of Dentures

Factors That Affect The Cost Of Dentures

Missing teeth can not only make you feel self-conscious but also can make everyday tasks like eating and talking more difficult. Here, our dentists discuss the difference between various types of dentures and the factors that can affect the cost.


What Are The Different Types of Dentures?

The three types of dentures that you will hear about are complete, partial, and implant-supported dentures. Each of these types of dentures comes with its own set of costs.

Complete dentures are the type of dentures that are designed to replace the entire set of teeth on your top or bottom jaw. These dentures will cost more than a partial set as they cover more area.

Partial dentures are a type of dentures that will only replace either one tooth or a few missing teeth in a row. This type typically costs the least out of all denture types.

Implant-supported dentures are anchored in the mouth by surgically placed dental implants. This type of denture usually costs the most as there are extra costs associated with the implant itself.

What Are Dentures Typically Made Out Of?

Yes, your dentures could be made out of a variety of materials. The cost can be much higher if you choose to have fully customized and high-quality dentures. 

Most patients find the cost associated with customized and high-end dentures to be worth it for the fit, functionality, and aesthetic. For custom dentures, you will have multiple fitting sessions both before and after receiving your dentures to ensure they fit correctly.

The Difference Between Immediate Dentures Or Only Having One Set

Immediate dentures are prepared and fitted on the same day that your teeth are extracted. Many patients opt for immediate dentures so they will not have to go weeks with missing teeth while they wait for their custom-made dentures to arrive. If you choose this option be prepared to pay extra for both sets of dentures. 

After your mouth heals from tooth removal it tends to change shape so in the case that you choose immediate dentures then you will have ongoing visits to ensure that your dentures continue to fit.

What Are Some Extra Factors That Can Affect The Cost Of Dentures?

Apart from the dentures themselves, there can be extra costs that come along with the process of getting dentures that you should be aware of.

For instance, many patients need preparatory dental work such as surgically extracting remaining teeth or reshaping the jawline before getting their dentures. These types of appointments will have costs associated with them. 

Ongoing costs include dental adhesives, a denture cleaning machine, and cleaning products.
