The cost varies
depending on where you live and your unique needs. A Prosthodontist’s price
ranges typically between $900 to $3,500 per (upper or lower) arch. While a general dentist’s fees are usually
$300 to $1,200 per arch, 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 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, many
dentures can be implant supported
such that your biting power is significantly improved. With implants supporting
them, dentures may correct several problems that range from speech to
chewing. In addition, retarding bone
loss, mouth irritation or sores may be avoided with implant supported
dentures. It is common that your mouth
changes over the life of your dentures, particularly when you have no teeth. As your bone structure changes your dentures
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
