Dentures are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. At South High Dental, we offer various options to suit your needs. Here’s a breakdown of the types of dentures and their associated costs.
Types of Dentures and Average Costs Without Insurance
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing in either the upper or lower jaw. This style restores full function and appearance while remaining easy to clean. Complete dentures have a reputation for feeling bulky and requiring an initial adjustment period.
Complete dentures have an average cost of $601-$2,775.
Partial Dentures
If you still have some natural teeth remaining, partial dentures may be the right fit for you. These dentures are less invasive and able to preserve natural teeth more than other styles, but may result in potential discomfort. Partial dentures are not completely hidden, as you may see metal clasps.
The average cost of partial dentures is rather similar to complete dentures at around $548-$2,119.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures, also known as permanent dentures, offer a secure fit by anchoring the dentures to dental implants. This method prevents bone loss but does require surgery for the implant installation.
Implant dentures have a higher upfront cost due to their surgical component. The cost range of this procedure typically falls between $1,525 and $6,358.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are temporary solutions and are placed immediately after teeth extraction. While you experience the benefits of not having time without teeth, you may need more adjustments later on.
Immediate dentures fall into a similar cost range as both partial and complete dentures, with the average cost range being $673-$2,775.
Factors Affecting Denture Costs
The cost of your dentures is not exactly black and white, even after you narrow down the cost based on the type of dentures you get. There are a few factors that affect denture cost:
- Material Quality: High-quality materials result in higher costs. Your dentist will help you decide what denture material best suits your needs, which can influence the material quality and cost.
- Customization and Fit: Dentures that are custom-made tend to be more expensive. Since each smile is unique, each person’s dentures will need different levels of customization, which impacts the overall cost.
- Geographic Location: Location can strongly influence the cost of your dentures. For example, a dentist in a rural area may be more expensive because fewer dentists are competing for patients in rural areas, causing prices to increase. Columbus dentists and dentists in urban areas experience much higher levels of competition, resulting in lower prices to stay competitive. Consider researching dentists near you to find the best price.
