Whether you\u2019re missing multiple pearly whites or don\u2019t have any left, dentures are an excellent way to replace them. They can help you maintain your facial shape, give you back some of your bite power, and fill in the gaps in your smile. As helpful as dentures are, how can you know how much they\u2019re going to cost? Read on to learn about four factors that affect the cost of dentures.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Dentures are made from several materials, including acrylic, porcelain, resin, nylon, or metal. The materials used to make your dentures, the quality, and the materials used will largely influence the price. Though cheaper dentures are more affordable, they\u2019re usually made from brittle plastic. So, while your upfront cost will be low, you\u2019ll have to get replacements much sooner. Higher-quality dentures give you more bang for your buck and typically have an acrylic body with teeth made from either the same material or porcelain. They\u2019re much stronger, look more natural, and can last five to seven years with proper care.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are several different types of dentures. If you still have some natural teeth left, you\u2019ll want to get partial dentures. Partials are more affordable since they replace fewer teeth and attach to your remaining pearly whites. Since full dentures need to replace all of the teeth in your mouth and can\u2019t use your natural ones for support, they will likely cost more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n During your denture consultation, your dentist will examine your oral cavity to determine if there\u2019s anything that could affect the process, like infections, decay, or previous dental work. They\u2019ll suggest preparatory dental work like extractions or gum disease therapy based on their findings. If there aren\u2019t any issues present, your dentist will give you the OK to move forward with treatment. \u00a0Preliminary treatments will add to the total cost, so it\u2019s best to find out if you\u2019ll need work done before you start the process so you can factor that into the final price.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Luckily, most full dental insurance plans include some restorative coverage. That means up to 50% of the cost of your dentures will likely be covered. Deductibles and co-pays still apply, so make sure to keep that in mind when determining the cost. Additionally, due to annual maximum coverage limits, getting your dentures in a year when you\u2019ve already had other procedures means your coverage may be considerably less than 50%.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As you can see, many factors affect the cost of denture treatment. Make sure to discuss these factors with your dentist and check to see how much coverage your insurance company offers so you can ensure that your new smile is as affordable as possible!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Are you missing multiple teeth, a whole arch, or all your pearly whites?
