However, you\u2019ve probably heard they are expensive, but that&#8217;s untrue. There\u2019s not a flat fee for a new set of teeth because various factors affect the amount you\u2019ll pay. As a result, you have options to keep dentures within your budget. You can replace your missing teeth, even if money is tight. Here are 4 things that will affect the cost of dentures when budgeting for your new smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Preparatory Procedures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A consultation with your dentist is the first step to treating your tooth loss. After examining your mouth, they might find you need a little prep work before moving forward, like tooth extractions or gum disease therapy. If the procedures are necessary for your oral health, you can use your dental insurance to pay a portion of the costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Type of Denture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to advancements in dentistry, there are multiple tooth replacement options. Besides the number of arches you\u2019re treating, the type of denture will also affect the cost, which may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Partial:<\/strong> Prosthetic teeth are affixed to a gum-colored base. It clips or clasps onto your remaining natural teeth to stay in place.<\/li><li><strong>Denture:<\/strong> A traditional full denture has an acrylic base that holds custom-made porcelain teeth. It rests on top of your gum tissue and is held in place with suction or an adhesive.<\/li><li><strong>Implant Denture:<\/strong> Implant posts are placed into the jawbone to serve as new roots. They anchor your denture to the bone for unmatched support and stability.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist will review all your options to make the best decision for your smile and wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone enjoys saving money, but don\u2019t pinch pennies when choosing materials for your new smile. The saying is true, you\u2019ll get what you pay for. Instead of focusing on the price, consider the quality and aesthetics of the material. Although you\u2019ll pay more, it\u2019s money well-spent to benefit from a comfortable, attractive, and durable denture that will last for longer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Dental Insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every situation differs, but it isn\u2019t likely your dental insurance will pay the entire cost. However, your benefits can lower your out-of-pocket expenses considerably. Besides covering the consultation and preparatory procedures, your benefits can pay 50% to 80% of the cost of your denture after meeting your annual deductible. Your dentist will work on your behalf with your dental insurance to maximize your policy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let your financial situation stand in your way of restoring your smile. Your dentist will help you find the solutions you need to replace your lost teeth without spending your life\u2019s savings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Ransey Boyd<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tallahasseesmiles.com\/dr-ransey-boyd.html\">Dr. Boyd<\/a> achieved her dental degree at the University of Florida and regularly continues her education to provide up-to-date services.
