The cost can vary
depending on your needs. A Prosthodontists' prices are typically from $900 up per arch. While a general dentist’s fees are cheaper, a
good percentage of the time you get what you pay for.
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 really 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
implants, dentures can be implant supported such that your biting power is
considerably increased. Implant supported dentures can correct several
problems, from speech to chewing. In
addition to retarding bone loss, gum irritation or sores may also be
avoided.
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. This can be avoided with implant supported
dentures.
The exact charge
for dentures really depends on the type you need and the quality
of dentist you choose to complete the procedure. This is a procedure you should definitely
research your dental insurance coverage[1]
and reputation of the dentist providing you with the care you need.
