That\u2019s because just like your smile, no two pairs are identical, and there are several important factors that go into determining their cost. Here\u2019s a closer look at three things that can affect their total, and why when it comes to restoring your gorgeous grin, they\u2019re well worth the price!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Denture Size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentures can be made to replace several to an entire arch of missing teeth, and the more you need, the more expensive your prosthetic will be. &nbsp;The price of full dentures not only includes all the teeth, but it also factors in the solid base that holds them in place, which uses more materials than partials, and thus will cost more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Denture Material<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a variety of materials used to make dentures, including acrylic resin for the base (the part that looks like your gums that holds the teeth in place). Some patients choose to add an underlying metal mesh within the denture to make their prosthetic stronger, which will increase their cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The teeth (crowns) of your denture will also affect the price. They\u2019re typically available in acrylic, resin, and porcelain. While acrylic is lighter and more affordable, they wear down faster and thus need to be replaced sooner. Conversely, porcelain is much heavier and more durable; however, it is also more expensive than other materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preliminary Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is your first time getting dentures (and even if it\u2019s not) you may need some preliminary dental work first. Often, patients require treatments like tooth extractions and gum disease therapy to get their mouth healthy enough to accommodate their new prosthetics. If these are necessary, you\u2019ll need to take care of them before your dentures can be created, and they will add to the total cost. The good news is that many of them are at least partially covered by some dental insurance plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Dentures Affordable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re fortunate enough to have dental insurance, many plans will cover at least part of the cost of dentures but be sure to verify this with your individual plan. Another option is flexible financing that can break your total into multiple, low-to-no-interest payments. &nbsp;Your dentist can also help you find the right pair of dentures for your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, dentures are an affordable, durable, and lifelike way to restore your smile following tooth loss, and truly one of the best values when it comes to replacing your teeth. To learn more about this treatment including whether you qualify and how much your care will cost, schedule a consultation with your dentist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.islandcitydental.com\/about-us.html\">Island City Dental<\/a>, we\u2019re proud to offer a variety of tooth replacement options, including dentures.
