Not every denture clinic will offer the same rates and not all dentures are created equal. There are ways to make dentures more affordable and there are cost effective plans to search for while you figure out which denturist is right for you. When trying to create a budget for your denture plan, take these 5 factors into consideration.
Which Type Of Dentures
Partial dentures are more affordable than full dentures and can cost between a few hundred dollars and one thousand. Full dentures are more expensive and can be between several hundred dollars and a few thousand dollars. It can cost around $350 per tooth. Your gum health will play a factor in which dentures are right for you may influence your pricing.
If you need or want denture implants, that will also influence the overall price of dentures. Denture implants are anchored to the jaw instead of resting on the gums and this procedure typically costs between $2000 and $5000.
Materials Used To Make The Dentures
More expensive materials mean more expensive dentures, but it also means better quality and comfort while needing less upkeep. Your denturist should be offering high quality materials with cost effective modifications.
Health Coverage
While standard Canadian universal healthcare does not cover dental, there is provincial government aid available for those over 65. If you are under 65, check if your employer or private health insurer offers denture coverage, or if you qualify for other social benefits. Also check to see what financing options your denture clinic has.
Payment Options
When getting dentures, do not only look at the initial cost. Dentures can sometimes require oral exams, surgeries or tooth extraction, and adjustments and redlining. Many denturists will have all of these available at an extra cost, so make sure you factor that into your final cost. Denture clinics that offer services such as flexible financing and direct billing can help make payments more manageable.
