A friend of my mother's needs full dentures. Her insurance only covers part of dental work. And she was wanting to know how much it will cost total. Including extractions, dentist fees, and dentures. Thank you.
--------------------
Cost is dependent on what all she needs to have done. The cheapest way to get it done is to find a dental school near by and go to them....they're usually about 30-50% cheaper than private practice. It's not uncommon for a treatment plan including extractions and dentures to cost $1500 or more at a dental school, depending on the number of teeth that need to come out, the difficulty of their extraction, and any other treatments that may need to be done (tissue conditioning, bone removal, etc.) Most insurance will cover at least part of a set of dentures. The best bet is to get a full treatment plan from the dentist (either dental school or private practice) and then you can talk to your insurance about what would be covered and what wouldn't. I would stay away from the bargain denture places. In dentures, and many other areas of dentistry, you get what you pay for. There are lots of ways to make a poor denture, and you want your mother's friend to have a good experience and great end product so she is confident and comfortable wearing her denture.
