There are many ways to replace your damaged or lost teeth – by placing dental bridges, dental implants, or dentures instead of them, for example. If you haven’t noticed yet, when we said “dentures” we implied the removable dental prostheses, despite that sometimes a term “fixed” dentures is also used, which refers to the aforementioned implants and bridges. The low cost of dentures comparative to the costs of other types of dental prostheses is the main reason why people purchase them.

Just so that you know how much they cost, we will give you exact numbers. The price you should expect to pay for a custom partial denture should be anything from 300 to 1000 dollars (or even above that). Full dentures cost, surprisingly, not that much higher – there are “economy” class full dentures that start from 400 dollars, but the “premium” level dentures cost 1500 dollars and sometimes even above that. The cost of dentures that we listed were just examples taken from Greenville dental offices, and you may see different prices in dental offices of your city. We’ve heard, for example, that there were people who were offered dentures for as high as 40000 dollars!

You just have to remember that, while there is definitely an average standard for prices for dental prostheses, there are just way too many factors that influence the price tag of dentures. While most dentures are made with acrylic resins for teeth and plastics for their bases, you can expect to see designs utilizing more expensive, or sometimes cheaper, materials. Also, the location of a dental office and how skilled a dentist is are both factors to take into consideration, as well. Don’t forget that the amount of teeth you need to replace is an another very important factor – the more teeth you need to replace, the more expensive your custom denture will probably be.

While the numbers might not seem to be very low, they are not that high if you compare to the prices for dental implants or bridges. For example, one implant already costs whopping 1500 dollars – that’s equivalent to the price for a full denture! However, while there are certainly drawbacks and certain dental implants problems, they are on average much better than dentures, too, so the price is pretty justified. To learn about the exact prices, we recommend that you contact several dental offices near your area, preferable by phone, as that way you can also compare the prices, and decide which dental office has the best offers.
