Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Patients suffering from tooth loss can typically expect to receive the green light when inquiring about traditional dentures. Whether you are interested in full or partial dentures or even implant dentures, Dr. Baldwin will provide a thorough examination of your oral cavity to determine three key factors:

What Are the Different Types of Dentures?

Dr. Baldwin is pleased to provide patients with three different types of dentures, ensuring everyone receives the appropriate prosthetic based on their individual needs:

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are used when patients have lost some but not all of their natural teeth. This prosthetic is designed much like a puzzle piece so it can fit into a unique series of gaps, effectively replacing the missing teeth while allowing the rest of a patient’s original smile to remain intact. They consist of a set of artificial teeth anchored to a base that replicates the gum line, and they stay in place with the help of a metal clip or frame. Like full dentures, the traditional versions are also removable for the patient’s convenience and comfort.

Full Dentures

When patients have lost most or even all of their teeth, eating is not the only problem they experience – the ability to properly pronounce words can become difficult, and over time, their facial appearance can suffer due to jawbone deterioration. A full denture can provide you with the renewed support, stability, and cosmetic quality you need. A full denture is designed to replace either the upper or lower arch of teeth, or both at once when there’s been total tooth loss.

Your dentist in Arlington will create a precise impression of your mouth that is used to build your new, customized denture with true craftsman-level quality. Then, once the final restoration is done, we will make any adjustments needed to ensure an ideal fit. Although traditional full dentures are held in place with the help of natural suction, dental adhesive can be added for extra stability. They’re also removable, allowing for easy cleaning and more comfortable sleep.

Implant Dentures

With the transformative power of implants, Dr. Baldwin can take your prosthetic to the next level by creating a foundation in your mouth to which the denture can be securely attached. You can choose a removable denture, or we can anchor it in place with dental implants, so the result is as natural and seamless as possible – the choice is yours!

Benefits of Dentures

What sets our dentures apart is the addition of cutting elements in the denture and permanent soft liners. Cutting elements in our precision-crafted dentures make chewing even the most difficult foods easier. Additionally, the soft liners on most dentures need repair or replacement every several years, but our soft liners are guaranteed to stay soft and last for the lifetime of the denture with regular care.

You can also expect an array of other benefits, including:

Understanding the Cost of Dentures

Cost of dentures in Arlington

At Foundation Dental Solutions, Dr. Baldwin understands the cost of dentures in Arlington may be a stretch for some patients. Fortunately, not all cases are the same, which means the price will vary from person to person. The only way to know how much you can expect to spend is to schedule a consultation. We will then evaluate your smile and formulate a thorough estimate before helping you to maximize your dental insurance benefits to minimize the out-of-pocket expenses associated with treatment.

Factors That Affect the Cost of Dentures

When meeting with your denture dentist in Arlington, you can expect him to go over the following factors before establishing a set price for your new smile:

  • How many teeth you have lost and if you require a partial, full, or implant denture.
  • Whether you require preliminary treatments before receiving dentures.
  • The type of materials used to create your new teeth, which are most commonly acrylic or porcelain.

While it may be possible to seek out cheaper options for dentures, you’ll likely end up with a prosthetic that doesn’t hold up to daily wear and tear and breaks down long before it’s time for a replacement. By opting for higher quality materials and allowing our team to explain why this is a better option, you can expect your new smile to last much longer. As a result, you’ll save time and money!

Are Implant Dentures More Expensive?

Implant dentures are known to be more expensive than traditional dentures; however, when you discover their benefits, you’ll understand why. These titanium posts mimic your smile’s natural teeth roots and fuse with the jawbone to provide a solid foundation and continuous stimulation. Once topped with a customized denture, you are free to eat all your favorite foods, speak clearly, smile with confidence, and embrace a better quality of life. They’re even known to last 30+ years or a lifetime!

Does Dental Insurance Cover Dentures?

When it comes to traditional dentures in Arlington, your dental insurance company will likely pay a portion of the total cost (up to 50%). The official percentage is based on whether you’ve met your deductible as well as how much of your existing annual maximum remains. If you prefer an implant denture, however, you may need to seek alternative payment options to assist in covering a portion of your treatment. The reason is that many companies still don’t acknowledge implants as “necessary” dental solutions.

Other Options for Making Dentures Affordable

If dental insurance is not an option, you can always apply for flexible financing through CareCredit or Lending Club. Dr. Baldwin partners with both companies to allow patients the opportunity to minimize their out-of-pocket expenses by breaking up the cost of their care across calendar months or years. By selecting a plan that works with your timeframe and budget, you can focus more on your new smile and less on the financial obligation required to achieve it.
