Types of Dentures and Cost

Choosing the right type of denture is essential for restoring your smile and maintaining your oral health. Dentures not only replace missing teeth but also support the structure of your mouth and improve your ability to eat and speak.

In this guide, we’ll explore the different types of dentures available and provide a detailed breakdown of their costs to help you make an informed decision.

Full Dentures

Full dentures provide a comprehensive solution for replacing an entire arch of natural teeth. They restore missing teeth, soft tissue, and bone that often recede after tooth loss, preventing a sunken facial appearance and maintaining a natural, youthful look.

Our full dentures are custom-crafted by expert denturists and dentists in a state-of-the-art lab, ensuring a comfortable fit that allows you to talk and eat with ease. For added security, high-quality denture adhesives should be used sparingly (if using adhesive, look for the American Dental Association seal of approval). Full dentures may involve tooth extractions if necessary.

Full Dentures Cost

• Implant Denture: Starts from $2,895 per arch
• Signature Plus Denture: Starts from $2,495 per arch
• Signature Denture: Starts from $1,895 per arch
• Premium Denture: Starts from $1,495 per arch
• Essential Denture: Starts from $895 per arch

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are secured to dental implants embedded in your jawbone, providing a stable fit that conventional dentures lack. This innovative approach eliminates the need for denture adhesives and prevents slippage, allowing you to chew, smile, and speak with confidence.

These implant-supported dentures can replace your upper arch or a few missing teeth.

Implant-Retained Dentures Cost

• Implant Overdenture: Ranges from $2,895 – $3,500 per arch
• All-on-4 Snap-On Denture: Ranges from $3,500 – $4,500 per arch
• All-on-4 Locator Fixed Denture: Ranges from $5,900 – $7,900 per arch

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are ideal for those who are missing a few teeth in a row but still have some natural teeth remaining. They fill the gaps left by missing teeth and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. These removable dentures allow for easy cleaning and maintenance.

There are various types of partial dentures, each designed to address specific needs:

• Flexible Partial Dentures
• Implant-Supported Partials
• Unilateral Partials
• Single Tooth Partials
• Fixed Rigid Partials with Clasps
• Mixed Supported Partials

Consult with our denture dentists to determine if a lower partial denture, an upper partial denture, or a temporary partial denture is suitable for you.

Partial Dentures Cost

• Valplast Partial: Starts from $1,495 per arch
• Acetal Resin Partial: Starts from $1,895 per arch
• Cast Metal or Titanium Partial: Starts from $1,495 – $1,695 per arch

Same Day Dentures

Immediate dentures, or same-day dentures, are placed immediately after extractions, allowing you to leave the clinic with a renewed smile. These premium dentures provide a temporary solution while you wait for your permanent dentures.

This allows patients to avoid the embarrassment and frustration of operating in the world without artificial teeth.

Same Day Dentures Cost

• Immediate Dentures: Starting from $498

Denture Repair and Reline

A well-fitting set of dentures is essential for daily comfort and functionality. Properly maintained dentures enable you to speak clearly, enjoy your favorite foods, and maintain a healthy bone structure, all while giving you a confident smile.

Over time, however, complete or partial dentures can become loose or uncomfortable, necessitating repairs and relines to restore their optimal fit.

Importance of Regular Denture Maintenance

Maintaining your dentures with regular cleanings and relines is crucial for ensuring they remain functional and comfortable. Dentures that fit poorly can cause irritation, soreness, and difficulty in speaking and eating. If you find yourself needing to use excessive amounts of denture adhesive or experiencing discomfort, it might be time for a denture reline.

Are Regular Comprehensive Denture Check-Ups Necessary?

Regular comprehensive denture check-ups are essential for maintaining the functionality, comfort, and longevity of your dentures. Over time, two significant issues commonly arise with dentures: loosening and wearing.

Denture Loosening

One primary concern is that dentures tend to loosen over time. This occurs because the jaw ridges (alveolar ridges) shrink in size due to gradual and continuous bone loss (bone resorption). When dentures are first fabricated, they are made to fit the larger alveolar ridges. As these ridges diminish, the once snug-fitting dentures become increasingly loose, leading to discomfort and reduced effectiveness.

Denture Wearing

The other significant issue is that denture teeth wear down from regular use. As dentures become loose and start shifting, uneven and irregular tooth wear develops. This combination of denture loosening and uneven tooth wear creates a reciprocal and cyclical process that exacerbates both problems.

As the denture shifts on the soft tissue and jawbone foundation, it rubs and chafes the alveolar ridge, causing irritation, soreness, and various types of pathology, including accelerated bone loss. This leads to more uneven tooth wear, which in turn causes more bone loss, perpetuating a cycle of destruction. Over time, this process can result in excessive jawbone loss, damage to remaining teeth, thinning of the overlying gum tissue, and the premature need for denture replacement.

Importance of Regular Check-Ups

Regular check-ups are crucial because they allow for early detection of these issues. If problems are identified early, they can often be remedied by adding plastic (acrylic resin) to the inside of the denture to ensure it fits closely against the alveolar ridge. This process, known as relining or rebasing, helps maintain a proper fit. Additionally, irregularly worn teeth can be adjusted, replaced, or built up as needed.
