Restoring your smile shouldn’t need to break the bank. Dentures are a more affordable way to replace your missing teeth with a durable, functional, and natural-looking prosthetic. But even they can be costly, depending on their features. If you’re curious about what goes into their final price, here’s a breakdown of some of the factors that could influence it.
Factors That Affect Denture Cost
Not all dentures are created equally. Different things influence their cost, including:
- Manufacturer
- Materials used
- Size
- Type of denture (implant, partial, full-set, same day, etc.)
Generally speaking, there are three levels of dentures: low priced, medium priced, and premium priced. These can range in cost from $300 to $8,000, depending on their quality, and if you need a full set or just one arch.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Dentures?
Most dental insurance plans consider dentures a “major procedure” and will cover 50 percent of their cost. Patients who have coverage can typically expect to pay between $250 and $2,000 per denture or $500 to $4,000 for a complete set.
Other Costs Involved
In addition to your dentures, you may have other associated costs if you need any restorative procedures. These can include:
- Tooth extractions
- Gum disease therapy
- Bone grafts
- Cost of immediate (same day) dentures
- Follow up dental visits
Making Dentures More Affordable
Now that you know some of the costs involved, you may be wondering what you can do to help make them more suitable for your budget. If you do not have insurance, check with your dentist to see if they have an in-house dental savings plan that provides a discount on services.
Another option you may want to consider is special financing through lenders like CareCredit, which can help you break your balance into affordable, low or no interest payments.
Remember, dentures are a budget-friendly way to replace missing teeth, but there are many things that go into their cost. To learn more about which dentures are best for you, and how to ensure they accommodate your finances, speak to your dentist about your options.
