The cost can vary
depending on where you live and your needs.
A general dentist fees are usually $300 to $1,200 per arch a good
percentage of the time you get what you pay for. And while a Prosthodontists'
prices are typically between $900 to $3,500 per upper or lower arch, a prosthodontist is
specially trained to provide you with both a functional and esthetically
pleasing denture. This can be a
painstaking job depending on the condition of your mouth’s bone structure. So it’s not a matter of sticking a pair of
slicks in your mouth and sending you off to eat corn on the cob. The proper fitting of a denture usually
requires follow-up visits to determine the actual results after use in the
mouth. When properly fitted, dentures
can provide a great smile with a very natural appearance.
In addition, with
the advent of implants, many dentures can be implant supported such that your
biting power is considerably increased. With implants supporting them, dentures
may correct several problems, from speech to chewing, for many patients. In addition to retarding bone loss, mouth
irritation or sores may be avoided with implant supported dentures. So when there are irritations they are
usually caused by poor dental hygiene, and not removing your dentures when
needed. It is common that your mouth changes over the life of your dentures, so
even though they last long, as the bone structure changes they may need to be
replaced to achieve a better fit before they are worn out.
The exact charge
for dentures really depends on the type you need and type of dentist you choose
to complete the procedure. This is a
procedure for which you should definitely research your dental insurance
coverage and reputation of the dentist providing you with the care you need. A portion of the cost is often covered.
Also, the use of
denture creams is the sign of an improperly fitting denture. If I have not answered your preliminary
