Affordable Denture Options
The cost of dentures can vary greatly depending on the materials used, the dentist and/or dental lab creating them, and the use of advanced treatment features. Even your location can make a difference. Sometimes dentures in Doylestown cost less than dentures in Philadelphia, PA. Where you live in Bucks County can make a difference.
The reality is that a lot of people have difficulty covering the cost of medical and dental procedures, which is why so many people want an affordable option for tooth replacement. Given these realities, Dr. Bruce Wilderman would like to go through some ways to make dentures more affordable for you. We can discuss more during your visit to Artistic Expressions Dentistry.
Traditional Dentures or Implant-Supported Dentures?
Traditional dentures are removable while implant-supported dentures are anchored into place using dental implants. To place dental implants, patients need to undergo oral surgery and have a months-long healing process.
Removable dentures are far less expensive that dentures that are anchored in place with dental implants. Just by picking removable dentures, you’re saving thousands of dollars in dental care costs.
Does Dental Insurance Help Cover the Cost of Dentures?
Typically, dental insurance will cover some percentage of the cost of a set of dentures. The amount covered will vary depending on your dental plan and insurance provider. Be sure to check with your insurance provider directly to find out if you qualify for coverage and what is required from you and your dentist.
Financing Options for Dentures
When the upfront cost of dentures is too much, patients can rely on financing options. These monthly payment plans break the total cost of dentures into affordable installments. This helps you pay for dentures without putting an extreme financial burden on your household all at one time.
Reduced Cost and Charity Dental Care
If you’re looking for further savings, you could research local charities that provide reduced-cost dental services. Sometimes these charities will offer dental health services including dentures free of charge.
We should note that the cost of treatment can vary depending on the dental charity. Make sure to find reputable organizations run by skilled dentists and dental health professionals.
Dental Schools and Dentures
Dental schools will usually offer discounted dental services to patients. This is because the procedures are performed by dentists in training. These dental students are in the process of improving their skills in cosmetic, restorative, and general dentistry procedures. Be sure to look up dental colleges in your area, and that they are reputable and well-regarded.
