One of the most common concerns we hear at East Longmeadow Family Dental Center is about the cost of dental work. Between paying for groceries and your monthly bills, it can be difficult to find the money for necessary dental procedures. Fortunately, when looking to replace all your missing teeth, we offer affordable prosthetics! Whether you’re looking for traditional dentures, removable implant dentures, or even fixed implant dentures, we’ve got a cost-effective solution for you! At East Longmeadow Family Dental Center, we take the guesswork out of replacing missing teeth. Simply book a free consultation with us to learn how much our dentures are and discover how we restore your smile!
How Much Are Traditional Dentures?
Traditional dentures are custom-fit to the contours of your mouth. These prosthetics feature a hard plastic base that mimics your gums and a row of artificial teeth that follow the curve of your jaw. With these prosthetics in place, you can smile with confidence!
Upper traditional dentures secure to the roof of your mouth through suction. Lower dentures, however, rely on your lower jaw for support, resting on the ridge of your jawbone. These restorations are made to fit perfectly on your gums, but over time, they tend to loosen. Fortunately, we offer denture relines, reshaping your denture base to fit against your shifting jawbone.
Amazingly, traditional dentures are relatively inexpensive, as they don’t use costly materials. While you will have to pay for recurring denture relines, the prosthetics themselves are usually affordable for patients on a budget!
How Much Are Implant Dentures?
Implant dentures are more expensive than traditional dentures, but they offer far superior stability. Unlike traditional dentures, these prosthetics are anchored to your jawbone by dental implants!
Dental implants are titanium screws that we secure in your jaw to support artificial restorations like crowns, bridges, or dentures. These titanium screws bond with your bone through a process known as osseointegration.
Because titanium is a biocompatible material, it integrates with your jawbone over time, creating an incredibly stable connection. When secured by dental implants, your denture provides unmatched stability and strength, enabling you to function like you would with your natural teeth!
However, dental implants are notorious for high costs and long healing periods, driving patients like you away. Fortunately, East Longmeadow Family Dental Center uses mini dental implants!
These titanium posts are smaller and sleeker than their conventional counterparts, allowing for faster healing. Instead of waiting months for your implant to be secure enough to support a temporary restoration, mini implants are instantly secure upon placement! Additionally, their one-piece design allows us to place them in only one appointment, saving you time and money.
Overall, mini implants are approximately half the cost of conventional implants.
Explore Our Implant Denture Options
At our office, we offer:
-
A permanent roundhouse bridge is cemented in place, providing a natural-looking and incredibly secure restoration. Snap-on dentures: This removable denture secures onto 4 to 8 mini implants, providing a stable bite. While it does require a denture base, we can remove the bulky upper palate, freeing the roof of your mouth.
- Semi-permanent roundhouse bridge: While technically a bridge, a roundhouse bridge acts as a denture because it replaces a full arch of teeth. However, this denture doesn’t require a denture base, instead securing directly on 6 to 10 implants. A semi-permanent denture remains securely in your mouth, only to be removed by us at routine dental visits.
- Permanent roundhouse bridge: This denture requires 10 to 12 implants for support, as it is cemented in place. Due to its advanced stability and sleek design, a permanent roundhouse bridge resembles and functions your natural smile.
How We Make Dental Care Affordable
While our traditional and implant dentures are relatively affordable, we at East Longmeadow Family Dental Center understand that some patients may still need financial assistance. This is especially true for those seeking implant restorations, as insurance companies typically don’t cover dental implants.
Fortunately, we partner with various third-party financing companies to offer flexible financing solutions! By breaking your denture costs up into manageable monthly payments, you can afford to restore your smile on a budget.
