Affordable Dentures for Every Budget

Choosing the right dentures is not a decision to take lightly. This choice impacts many areas of your life, from eating and speaking to how you feel about your smile. Naturally, you have questions: Do you need to be missing all your teeth to qualify for dentures? Will you feel like yourself again? Most importantly, what will the cost be? Having answers to these questions is crucial for making an informed choice. After all, dentures can be a life-changing solution that enhances your quality of life. Choosing the most affordable option for dentures is tempting, but there is so much more to consider. Selecting the right dentures involves more than just the initial cost; it’s about investing in your oral health and overall well-being.

Breaking Down the Denture Basics: Which Option Is Right for You?

Exploring denture options is essential to finding the right fit for your lifestyle and dental health. Each type of denture offers distinct benefits, so choosing the one that aligns with your specific needs is important. Here’s a breakdown of some popular denture options to help you make an informed decision:

• Traditional dentures: These are held in place with suction or adhesives and are designed to replace teeth in the upper or lower jaw. The artificial teeth are mounted on a gum-colored acrylic base that sits on your gums. They need to be taken out for regular cleaning.
• Removable overdentures: Consider these an upgrade from traditional denture options. They are anchored securely with four to eight mini dental implants that we insert into the jawbone and fit snugly in the upper or lower jaw.
• Fix-on-Six® dental implants: This option is similar to removable acrylic overdentures but with some key differences. Fix-on-Six is ideal for patients missing most teeth in one or both jaws. This method involves placing 6 to ten mini dental implants into the jawbone to support a custom-made bridge. Only Dr. Diana Rodriguez or Dr. Samuel Lemieux remove the bridge during your regular cleanings.

Various denture options are available, and the cost is often a major concern for many people. While some dentures may have a lower upfront price, they might not be the most cost-effective choice in the long run.

Choosing Affordable Dentures and the True Cost of a “Quick Fix”

It is important to consider affordable versus cost-effective solutions when considering denture options. While affordable dentures may have a lower upfront cost, finding a cost-effective option can benefit your health in the long run. Let’s take traditional dentures as an example. They are affordable and often the most budget-friendly option. They are custom-made to fit the contour of your mouth and provide a basic solution to missing teeth.

However, these dentures require periodic adjustments as your jaw changes over time. After tooth loss, the jawbone that once supported the teeth begins to shrink or resorb. This natural process occurs when the bone is no longer stimulated by tooth roots. As the jaw shrinks, dentures that once fit snugly become loose and uncomfortable. These changes in jaw structure can create new pressure points, sore spots, and irritation.

Frequent appointments for adjustments or replacements can quickly add up, turning an initially affordable option into an ongoing expense. And let’s not forget what this instability does to your peace of mind. The stress of dealing with ill-fitting dentures can take a significant mental toll, affecting your confidence and overall well-being.

Affordable vs. Cost-Effective: Choosing Implant Dentures

Investing in a more cost-effective solution like Fix-on-Six® or removable overdentures might have a higher initial cost but offer greater stability, comfort, and fewer adjustments. The key to these benefits lies in the mini dental implants. Dental implants provide a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth, serving as artificial tooth roots. We insert a small titanium post into the jawbone, and once implanted, the implant fuses with the bone through osseointegration, creating a stable and sturdy foundation for your dentures. Mini dental implants secure your dentures more effectively and support the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss. By maintaining the structure of your jaw, dental implants help preserve your facial shape and oral health, proving to be a wise investment for long-term stability and comfort.

However, we understand that the cost of dentures can be a concern for many. That’s why we believe everyone should have access to the best possible denture solutions, regardless of their budget. To make this a reality, we partner with various financing companies to offer flexible payment options. You can choose the denture solution that best fits your needs and budget without compromising on quality.
