DENTAL PROCEDURES  Dentures

Tooth loss may result from periodontal disease, tooth decay, or traumatic injury. It is very
important to replace missing teeth. The ill effects of not doing so can be a shift in remaining
teeth, an inability to bite and chew properly, as well as a sagging facial appearance, which
makes one appear older than they are.

The beauty of dentures today is that they are designed to be comfortable and functional. They
are very similar in appearance to natural teeth, and can improve a smile or facial appearance.

Selecting a Dentist for Dentures

It is important to inquire about the dentist's training and experience when investigating the
denture procedure. For example, many general dentists perform the denture procedure. Yet,
prosthodontists receive three years of advanced training in restorative dentistry. The American
College of Prosthodontists offers additional resource information about the training of
prosthodontists in the U.S.

Denture Costs

Storing your dentures in cold water can help remove food particles.

The cost of dentures depends on several factors, including:

.  The possible requirement of an additional procedure such as extractions of remaining
    teeth or oral surgery to refine bony ridges.
.   A prosthodontist specializes in crafting dentures and may charge more for his services.
.  The location of the dentist.
.  The type of dental insurance you have.
.  The complexity of the removable denture that is required.
.  Dental materials selected by the patient and the dentist. For example, highly cross-linked
   polymer denture teeth are more esthetic and do not wear as much as conventional plastic
   teeth and are more expensive. There are different metals that can be used in removable
   partial dentures that may also increase the cost.
.  The type of warranty offered. Some warranties may be for one to two years, while others
   may run up to 10 years.
.  Complete dentures can range in price from $ to $. The difference in cost is related to the
   fabrication time, cost of dental materials, and the experience of the dentist. An experienced
   dentist may take 15 hours and five to six appointments to complete the process of making
   complete dentures. The cost range does not include fees associated with possible oral
   surgery or tooth extraction. Depending on the type of dental insurance you have, insurance
   companies may offer a 15 percent reimbursement or up to a 50 percent absorption of the
   total procedure costs.
