\"HandMissing teeth are more than just an aesthetic issue. An incomplete smile can negatively affect your oral health, general wellness, and quality of life. If you\u2019ve experienced significant tooth loss, you\u2019d love to restore your smile; however, you\u2019ve heard dentures<\/a> are expensive. You have several solutions to keep a complete smile within your budget, even if money is tight. Here are 3 factors to consider when budgeting for the cost of dentures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Preparatory Procedures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dentures are recommended for patients who have several compromised or missing teeth throughout one or both arches. Generally, if you have good oral and general health, you\u2019re a candidate for the dentures, but you\u2019ll still require a consultation with your dentist. They\u2019ll examine your mouth to look for any concerns that need to be resolved before proceeding, like gum disease. It\u2019s not uncommon for patients to need a little prep work before getting their new teeth, like tooth extractions or periodontal therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Type of Denture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No two smiles are the same, so a cookie-cutter treatment plan just won\u2019t work. One of the most significant factors to influence the price tag for your new smile is the type of denture you choose. Depending on your degree of tooth loss, you may be a candidate for a full or partial denture. Besides traditional dental prosthetics, an implant-supported denture may be an option. Although you\u2019ll pay more upfront, an implant denture is the most cost-effective because it can last for 30 years or longer with the right aftercare, like maintaining your oral hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find many discounted materials, but it\u2019s not an area where you want to pinch pennies. You\u2019ll get what you pay for because cheap dentures are often low quality and may not offer the same aesthetics or comfort as higher quality materials. Your dentist will explain all your options to make the best investment for your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping Dentures Affordable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone deserves to have a confident, functional smile, no matter their financial situation. If you have dental insurance, you can replace your missing teeth without dealing with a large bill. After reaching your annual deductible, you can use your coverage to offset the amount you pay out-of-pocket. Although every plan differs, most cover 50% to 80% of the cost of certain steps in the treatment process, like tooth extractions, imaging, or the prosthesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides using your dental insurance, many dentists work with third-party financing. You can pay for your new smile in monthly installments based on your credit approval. Don\u2019t spend another day longing for a beautiful smile. Your dentist will help you find the solutions you need to turn your dream smile into a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
