Do you have a problem with your teeth that you want to be resolved? Maybe you have a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth that you want to be replaced. Dentures are a common solution to missing teeth. They are a more cost-effective alternative than many other tooth-replacement techniques. Dentures also provide a natural-looking aesthetic that will look like normal teeth. This makes them a popular cosmetic choice.. Check out this guide on everything you need to know about dentures and why Shiny Smile Veneers may be a better option for you.
Types of Dentures
There are four main types of dentures, including full dentures, partial dentures, implant-retained dentures, and immediate dentures.
Full Dentures
If you have a lot of missing teeth, full dentures may be your best option. Full dentures replace an entire row of teeth and can be for your upper arch, lower arch, or both arches. In addition, these dentures are removable and can be fixed. Typically, full dentures will come with an acrylic base, and any replacement teeth are generally also made of acrylic.
Partial Dentures
If you are only missing one or a few missing teeth, partial dentures could be a good fit for you. Partial dentures can be fixed into place or be removable. They are made from a variety of materials.
Implant-Retained Dentures
Implant-retained dentures are fixed to always stay in place in your mouth. They use implants that are fixed right on your gums which helps to provide retention and stability.
Immediate Dentures
When you have a tooth removed and plan to have it filled, your permanent replacement won’t be available immediately. Immediate dentures are used as a temporary tooth replacement until the permanent ones show up. This will allow you to avoid having noticeable gaps in your teeth while you wait for the replacements to show up. Immediate dentures can be full or partial, depending on how many teeth you are missing.
How Much Do Dentures Cost?
When determining how much your dentures will cost, you have to look at the following factors:
- Material
- Type
- Level of customization
For example, acrylic dentures are going to be cheaper than porcelain dentures. Getting a full set of dentures will run you more than partial dentures. Finally, pre-made removable dentures will cost you significantly less than a properly fitting set of dentures.
Other costs to consider regarding dentures are:
- Cost of teeth extractions if needed
- Cost of immediate dentures if you don’t want temporary gaps
- Cost of follow-up appointments for adjustments if needed
The factors above mean the cost of dentures can vary. However, on average, the cost is about $1800 for a full set of traditional dentures. Here is a breakdown of costs from low-cost dentures to premium dentures.
Low-cost Dentures
These types of dentures are usually cold-cured and made with lower-quality materials. They will cost around $300-$500 per plate. So, for a full set of lower and upper dentures, you are looking at around $600-$1,000.
Mid-priced Dentures
Mid-priced dentures are usually heat-cured and look more natural. They also have better longevity than low-cost dentures. These will cost between $1,000 and $3,000 for a full set. A single denture plate will be somewhere between $500 and $1,000.
Premium Dentures
These dentures are heat-cured and are made using high-quality materials. They are fully customized for a truly authentic look. If you want a complete set, it will cost you between $4,000 and $8,000. A denture will cost you between $2,000 and $4,000.
What Is the Process of Getting Dentures?
Getting your dentures fitted will follow these steps:
- First, you will get any teeth removed that need to be, and your dentist will put in temporary dentures.
- The dentist will take an impression of your mouth and use it to create your dentures. You will have input on the tooth shape, color, and size.
- After the dentures are made, your dentist will put them in, and you will wear them until a check-up visit. At the follow-up appointment, adjustments can be made. In addition, your dentist will offer advice on how to care for your dentures.
- It could only take a few months between your first appointment and when you feel fully at ease with your new dentures. You will likely see your dentist four or five times during this period.
Shiny Smile Veneers as an Alternative to Dentures
There are several reasons why someone may choose Shiny Smile Veneers rather than traditional dentures.
No Costly Dentist Visits
With Shiny Smile Veneers, you don’t even have to leave your house. First, you will receive a kit to take an impression of your mouth and send it in. Then, your veneers will be created and sent to you. This allows you to skip paying for dentist appointments and stay in the comfort of your home.
Ease of Use
Shiny Smile Veneers are easy to take in and out of your mouth. You can leave them in for most things, but avoid things like chewing gum with them in. Taking them out every time you eat isn’t necessary but will help extend the life of your veneers. It is also advised to take your veneers out while sleeping, especially if you grind your teeth.
Look Like Real Teeth
Another benefit of Shiny Smile Veneers is that they look like real teeth. No one is going to be able to tell they aren’t your normal teeth. The veneers simply snap on over your existing teeth. They will also be colored like your teeth so that they will blend right in.
Cost
Dentures can be prohibitively expensive, but this is not the case with Shiny Smile Veneers. A complete top and bottom set is only going to cost you $570. That can save you thousands of dollars while still helping you fix your smile.
