The cost of dentures will vary due to a number of factors.
One factor that will vary the cost of dentures is the type of dentures an individual is getting.
The Cost of Dentures – Full vs Partial Dentures
There are basically two different types of dentures; full dentures and partial dentures.
Full dentures are when a person is getting the whole arch of teeth or both arches, lower and upper, replaced.
Partial dentures are for replacing only one or a few teeth.
The price of full dentures is on the whole set while for partial dentures is quoted per tooth.
The lowest cost of dentures will range from $600 to $1000 for a full set of dentures.
A full set of dentures comprises dentures for both the upper and the lower arches.
The price is approximately half for one arch. This is for the most basic type of full dentures.
This type of dentures will more often than not use lower quality materials making them look less than real teeth and will have very limited warranties if at all.
Due to the poor material, these dentures will have a very limited lifespan.
The middle range of dentures will cost from $1000 to $2000 for a full set.
The material used to make these mid-range dentures will be relatively good and the dentures will have a longer life span.
The warranty period for this range will also be longer as they are expected to also longer.
High end dentures will cost anything from $2000 to $10000.
They will be made of the highest quality materials and look almost like if not completely like natural teeth.
They will have an extended warranty period and the cost of dentures may include follow-up visits.
Partial dentures on the other hand will cost anything from $300 to $4000 per tooth.
The Cost of Dentures Price Range
The lowest quality denture will be priced between $300 and $500 per tooth, average quality will range from $700 to $2000 and the most expensive will range from $2000 to $4000.
The price per denture can be higher if the denture is made of precious metals such as gold.
Besides the quality of material, the cost of dentures also varied depending on the amount of dental work to be done when fixing dentures.
There may be need for some tooth extraction of remaining teeth when a person is getting full dentures, or teeth crowning when a person is getting partial dentures.
Teeth are crowned in order to provide better support for the partial dentures.
The more work needed to successfully place your dentures, the higher the cost of dentures.
