Common denture questions

How much do dentures cost in Stephenville?+

A standard full denture (upper or lower) typically runs $1,500-$3,500. Premium dentures with porcelain teeth $3,500-$5,500. Implant-retained dentures (anchored to 2-4 implants) $6,000-$15,000 per arch and chew dramatically better. Most insurance covers 50% of standard dentures up to your annual maximum.

How long do dentures last?+

Standard dentures last 5-10 years before needing relines or replacement. The mouth shape changes as bone resorbs underneath, requiring adjustment. Implant-retained dentures last 15-25 years before the prosthesis itself needs replacement; the implants underneath last decades.

How long does it take to get dentures?+

Conventional dentures: 4-6 weeks over 4-5 visits (impressions, bite registration, try-in, delivery, final adjustment). Immediate dentures (placed same-day after extractions) require relines after healing. Implant-retained dentures take 4-6 months because of implant healing.

Are dentures comfortable?+

Modern, well-fitted dentures are far more comfortable than the relatives most people remember. The first 1-2 weeks involve adjustment, sore spots, learning to chew and speak, salivation. After that, most patients adapt fully. Implant-retained dentures eliminate the slipping and adhesive entirely.

Should I get dentures or implants?+

Implants where bone allows. Dentures (or implant-retained dentures) when bone is severely depleted, when budget is constrained, or when full-arch implants aren't a fit. We discuss the trade-offs at the consultation, including the long-term cost difference (dentures need replacement, implants typically don't).

Will my insurance cover dentures?+

Most PPO plans cover 50% of dentures up to your annual maximum (typically $1,500-$2,500). Implant-retained dentures often have partial coverage when documented as medically necessary. We verify benefits before treatment.
