Is dentures cheaper than implants?

Yes, dentures are generally much cheaper than implants, especially when considering the initial upfront cost. Full set of dentures costs range from 450 USD to 3,600 USD in The USA, depending on the materials and complexity. The artial dentures is typically cost less, starting around 300 USD. The single implant cost between 1,800 USD and 3,600 USD in the USA.

These are the aspects that one should consider when it comes to the cost of dentures:

  • The cost of dentures does not cover either the cost of other treatments such as tooth extraction, or bone structure augmentation, or the costs of panoramic x-ray and medication.
  • Each case is individual. Therefore the costs of the following denture represent the average treatment process.
  • Some treatments combine different procedures. For example, one can have a treatment with standard dental implants and zircon (all-ceramics) dental crowns or a treatment with premium dental implants and removable dentures.
  • With the help of modern dental medicine, a fixed dental denture can be applied in all cases. This is significantly more convenient and simpler for the patient.

How much does health insurance cover for dentures?

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 insurrance 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, the state health insurrance does not cover planned medical treatment abroad. With a dental treatment in Hungary, including travel, you can save up to 40-60% compared to Uk prices, with short waiting lists and professional doctors.

What is the cheapest fixed denture?

The cheapest fixed dentures are:

Clasp denture

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.

Dental bridge

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.

Standard fixed denture (the fixed dental prosthesis)

Non-removable(=fixed) denture,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.

Premium fixed denture (fixed dental prosthesis)

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.

Removable Denture (the removable dental prosthesis)

Removable dentures can be completely removable or partially anchored onto a certain number of dental implants. For this solution fewer dental implants are necessary than for non-removable (or fixed) dentures, since the removable dentures do not require such great stability. The size of the jaw (therefore the optimal chewing force distribution and stability) determines the amount of dental implants that the patient needs.

The following example contains an average number of implants in the case of the renewal of a whole jaw. The example about dentures costs consists of standard dental implants (e.g.from the manufacturer SGS) and all-ceramics dentures fused to a metal basis.
