Affordable solutions to different types of dentures

As we grow older, we can become susceptible to losing a tooth or two, which will end up with us having to look for tooth loss replacement options. One of the more common and traditional forms of tooth loss replacement is dentures.

Here’s what you need to know about all things dentures, including what they are, the different types, and more affordable yet equally as effective alternatives. 

What are dentures?

Dentures are a removable replacement for missing teeth. They can be used to replace multiple missing teeth and come in a few different variations depending on the patient’s needs. 

Types of dentures

Partial dentures: A partial removable denture is used for an individual who is missing one or more teeth but still has many of their natural teeth remaining. They work by hooking around the remaining teeth for a stable and natural feel. 

Implant-retained dentures: Combining two dental procedures, a denture is secured to your gums using dental implants. In this case, the denture is still removable, by snapping on and off the implant. 

Implant-supported dentures: Also known as permanent dentures, this type is non-removable. 

Complete Dentures: Otherwise known as all-on-4 dental implants, they’re used to replace a full arch of missing teeth. It’s favoured by patients due to its durable nature and offers a fixed and natural-looking result 

How to take care of dentures

If you decide you want dentures, aftercare to make them last as long as possible includes: 

• Removing them at the end of every day 
• Cleaning thoroughly using the advised cleaning routine 
• Soaking in denture solution overnight – every night
• Removing excess plaque and food buildup with an at-home oral hygiene routine 

Denture Costs

When looking into having a denture, the price range can be extreme. They average between £500 and £3,500, depending on the type of denture, material used, quality, location, and if any additional procedures are needed. 

Some oral health professionals will provide finance options which will allow you to spread the cost over a few months, but it still works out as a pretty pricey procedure. 

instasmile as an alternative to dentures

Tooth loss isn’t uncommon, but the vigorous cost and surgeries required to achieve a suitable replacement shouldn’t be. 

instasmile clip-on veneers can cover multiple missing teeth as well as cracks, chips and gaps without having to deal with regular trips to the dentist. With the price starting at just £350, you will have an answer to your tooth loss problem without having to blow a hole in your bank account. 

Not only that, but your veneer will come with several benefits that no tooth replacement option could provide, including:

• No surgery needed
• Limited diet and lifestyle restrictions
• A boost in confidence
• No adhesives
• A natural aesthetic

These are just some of the reasons why instasmile is the best alternative to a partial denture.
