Partial dentures only replace some of the teeth in your smile. These restorations fill the gaps in your smile to create a more cohesive look, while leaving your remaining teeth alone. As expected, the fewer teeth that need replacing, the more affordable your dentures will be. But that doesn’t mean that full dentures are totally out of your price range. Even with dental implants in place to secure your smile, these prosthetics can be accessible to those on a budget. At East Longmeadow Family Dental Center, we believe that everyone should be able to afford their dental care. Fortunately, we use mini dental implants to secure smiles, helping patients like you save on the cost of full dentures. Additionally, we provide flexible financing options to ease your financial burdens while still restoring your smile.
Breaking Down the Cost of Full Dentures
Full dentures involve replacing all the teeth in your mouth to restore function and aesthetics to your smile. Without teeth, patients often struggle to eat and communicate clearly, facing barriers to everyday function. However, with full dentures in place, they can eat and speak normally again!
Traditional full dentures are relatively inexpensive. However, these prosthetics aren’t the most reliable way to replace missing teeth, as they often loosen over time.
Why? Because your natural teeth are essential for jawbone health! Teeth have roots that embed in your jawbone, stimulating it every time you bite or chew. Without this stimulation, your jaw will gradually lose bone mass and volume, causing your denture to lose its fit. While messy adhesives and regular denture relines help fix loose dentures, they’re only a temporary solution.
Fortunately, with dental implants, we replace these tooth roots to keep your jaw healthy and restore your smile! But implants can be expensive, driving patients away from replacing missing teeth.
If you’re looking for a secure solution to total tooth loss that doesn’t break the bank, East Longmeadow Family Dental Center recommends using mini dental implants to secure your full dentures! Not only are mini implants just as strong as conventional implants, but they’re also much more affordable.
Saving Money With Mini Implants
Mini dental implants are small titanium posts we use to secure your smile. Thanks to their slim structure, they have many cost-effective advantages that help make your full dentures more affordable, including:
- A one-piece design: Mini implants are one solid piece of titanium that we secure in your jawbone. Without the need to pay for multiple components, mini implants are less expensive than conventional implants.
- A single placement appointment: Conventional implants require multiple appointments over a period of a few months, significantly slowing down your procedure. In total, the conventional implant-supported denture process takes around 5 months to complete. In contrast, mini dental implants require just one placement appointment, saving you time and money.
- A simple, minimally invasive procedure: Rather than requiring patients to undergo additional procedures to rebuild lost bone, mini implants are able to secure in minimal bone! By avoiding extra costs that complex procedures involve, you can restore your smile on a budget.
Full Dentures Cost Less Than You’d Think!
By using mini dental implants rather than conventional implants to secure your full dentures, you can enjoy a more affordable solution to tooth loss. Of course, the team at East Longmeadow Family Dental Center understands that while mini implant dentures are cost-effective, some may still need financial assistance to restore their smile.
With our flexible financing options, we allow patients to replace their missing teeth without worrying about the cost! We partner with multiple third-party lending companies that allow you to split the cost of your dental treatment into more manageable monthly payments.
