Are dentures expensive?

Once there is a problem with teeth, it will have a great impact on our normal life. First of all, it will affect our normal diet. Especially for many elderly people, tooth loss can easily affect the digestive ability of the stomach and intestines, which has a great impact on our normal life. However, there are many kinds of materials for dentures, and the costs of different materials are also different. Let's find out whether the cost of dentures is high.

Are dentures expensive?

Currently, it can be divided into two categories: metal and non-metal. Metal materials include pure gold and alloys. Alloys such as cobalt-chromium alloy, nickel-chromium alloy, copper alloy, etc. The stainless steel wire commonly used to make denture clasps is a forged alloy. Experts from Beijing Dental Hospital said that currently, the main materials for dentures are as follows. According to the needs of the patients, you can choose the dentures that are suitable for you to install:

1. Non-metallic denture materials: plastics and composite resins. The non-metallic materials used to make dentures are mainly plastics, with composite resins being the most commonly used. Plastics and composite resins can be widely used in making crowns and bases for dentures, and can also be used as materials for modifying dentures.

2. Ceramics. It is mainly used to make dental crowns, which are beautiful, durable and biocompatible. The cost of all-ceramic dentures is the highest compared to other dentures, and it is also the best denture material.

3. The price of metal denture materials. The most common ones are non-precious metal materials such as nickel-chromium and alumina, which have the advantage of being strong and durable. However, it has poor biocompatibility and is prone to gum discoloration. Dentures made of this material are relatively affordable and are now widely used.

4. Precious metal denture materials: denture materials containing inert precious metals such as gold and platinum. Since it does not produce chemical reactions after being in the mouth for a long time, it is safer than non-precious metal materials. High biocompatibility. But the price is relatively high.

The above is an introduction to whether the cost of dentures is high. After understanding it, we know that the cost of dentures has a certain relationship with the material. When we have problems with our teeth, we must go to the hospital for treatment in time. Do not judge the quality of the material of dentures based on the price. We must choose the one that suits us.
