Yes, dentures are generally much cheaper than implants, especially when considering the initial upfront cost. The full set of dentures costs range from 450 USD to 3,600 USD in The USA, depending on the materials and complexity. The partial dentures typically cost less, starting at around 300 USD. The single implant cost between 1,800 USD and 3,600 USD in the USA.
Dental insurance coverage for dentures in the US can be a bit complex, as it varies significantly depending on your specific plan and provider.
Typical Coverage:
Partial Coverage: Most dental insurance plans will cover a portion of the cost of dentures, typically around 50%. This means you’ll be responsible for paying the remaining balance out-of-pocket.
Annual Maximums: Dental insurance plans usually have an annual maximum benefit, which is the most they’ll pay for covered services in a year. This limit can range from $1,000 to $2,000, and dentures often count towards this maximum.
Waiting Periods: Some plans may have a waiting period for major procedures like dentures, meaning you might have to wait 6-12 months before your coverage kicks in.
Deductibles and Co-pays: You’ll usually have to pay a deductible before your insurance starts covering costs, and you may also have co-pays for each visit or procedure.
Factors Affecting Coverage:
Type of Denture: Basic dentures are more likely to be covered than premium dentures with advanced features.
Medical Necessity: If your dentures are deemed medically necessary (e.g., due to an accident or illness), your insurance may cover a larger portion of the cost.
Plan Type: Different plan types offer varying levels of coverage. For example, a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan may offer more flexibility in choosing your dentist, while a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan may have a more limited network and lower costs.
The health insurance primarily provides basic dentures. If you want a more advanced type, such as implants or flexible dentures, you will have to pay privately. In general, state health insurance does not cover planned medical treatment abroad. With dental treatment in Hungary, including travel, you can save up to 40-60% compared to UK prices, with short waiting lists and professional doctors.
The cheapest fixed dentures are:
A removable denture that is attached to the existing teeth with metal clasps. Advantages: Most affordable option for fixed dentures. Disadvantages: Can be less aesthetic than other options, the clasps can be visible. Can become loose over time and may need to be readjusted. Cost: Depends on the number of teeth being replaced, but usually less expensive than other options.
A fixed prosthesis that attaches to adjacent teeth to fill a gap.
Advantages: More aesthetic than a clasp denture, provides good chewing function.
Disadvantages: Adjacent teeth must be ground down to attach the bridge.
Cost: More expensive than a clasp denture, but less expensive than implants.
Non-removable(=fixed) dentures, Dental crowns, dental bridge pillars or dental bridges are fixed on a certain number of dental implants. The number of dental implants depends on the number of teeth that need replacement. The size of the jaw (so the optimal chewing force distribution and stability) also determines the number of dental implants. The following example contains an average number of implants in the case of the rehabilitation of a whole jaw. Whether the teeth replacement will be a dental denture, crown or bridge depends on the number of teeth to be replaced and on the preferences of the patient.
The following example of dentures cost contains standard dental implants (e.g. from the manufacturer SGS) and metallic-ceramic dental crowns.

All-On-4 dental implants are designed to replace an entire arch of teeth with only four dental implants. Due to the surgical technique used, no bone graft is required. This is because the two posterior implants are placed 45 degrees in the jawbone to make the most of the bone supply. For the healing period, the patient receives a temporary denture. After the healing period, the final, screw-retained round bride, which sits stably on the four implants, is manufactured. This is then fixed onto the already exposed, with implant abutments fitted implants. The final replacement is very similar to natural teeth, both aesthetically and functionally.
