Dentures Cost: Clinical Case
Missing upper lateral incisors and canines.

Based on the guide listed above, Acrylic resin removable partial denture is the most affordable treatment option. But, it is prone to dislodgement.
2 four-unit fixed partial dentures
Four unit fixed partial denturs is the second option if finances are a concern. However, tooth preparation of four healthy teeth is destructive and may result to future endodontic problems.
2 implants with 2 two-unit implant supported cantilever bridges.
The third possible treatment option is 2 implants with 2 two unit implant supported FPDs. Placing fewer implants is less costly. But rotational forces from cantilever bridges have a destructive effect.
2 implants with 2 three-unit bridge using the implants and central incisors as abutments.
Placing 2 implants with 2 three-unit bridge using the implants and central incisors as abutments is also a treatment option. But linking natural teeth to implants is not advisable.
4 implant supported crowns for missing lateral incisors and canines.
Based on the guide listed above, 4 implants for the 4 missing teeth is the most expensive but the most ideal treatment option. The healthy teeth are not preserved from tooth reduction. The esthetic outcome is also generally better than the other treatment options.
Cost need not be a deciding factor for achieving dental health. – Dr. Irfan Ahmad

Hi doc! Good day! I still do 1 third molar left. Should I have the tooth extracted? Can I have a stable denture with the said tooth present?
Yes, it will be better if you have it extracted. It may impede the stability of the denture. Depending on the denture space present, it is possible to construct a stable denture with the said tooth present.
Visit your dentist and let it be examined.

Yes. See a dentist. Your dentist will do a panoramic x ray. He will examine if the tooth is unerupted or really missing. It can be orthodontically treated or prosthodontically treated or combination of both.

There is no fixed price for dentures. Ask the dentists near you about the types of dentures and their cost.

And if you have some comments about HOW REMOVABLE DENTURES WOULD BE THE BETTER ONE , that would be a great help . Thanks . 🙂

Been to dentist today, and I want to have upper dentures (full). Teeth to be extracted 6 pieces.
His payment plan for me: xx,000.00 pesos for full upper dentures
xx0.00 pesos for each tooth extraction
Is this good payment plan? I’m a senior citizen now. Is there a discount for senior citizen?
Thank you
