The cost of a dental prosthesis is different depending on the type of prosthesis that is chosen, either fixed or removable.
To define the cost of a dental prosthesis, the following must also be taken into account:
- The number of pieces to be replaced.
- The number of implants to be used to support the prosthesis.
- The material in which the prosthesis will be made.
- The process to make the prosthesis (conventional or computerized).
All of the above is defined with a personalized study and diagnosis. After this diagnosis, it is possible to review the prosthesis options that may be most appropriate for your case.
Types of Dental Prosthesis and their cost
In general it can be said that they exist fixed prostheses and removable prostheses.
Fixed prostheses
As the name implies, this type of prosthesis they are fixed, only the specialist can remove them and put them back when carrying out the periodic checks.
Among the fixed prostheses are:
-
- Crowns on implants
- Implant-supported prostheses
- Hybrid prostheses
- Dental bridges (fixed prosthesis supported on teeth)
The dental implants They are inserted into the bone replacing the root of the tooth and an abutment, called an abutment or abutment, is placed on top of it to support the prosthesis.
Dental bridges are not fixed with implants, it is necessary to carve (wear down) the teeth on the sides, to insert this type of prosthesis.
The advantage of using dental implants is that it is not necessary to use other teeth or wear them to fix the prosthesis. But, to be able to do a treatment with implants, the health of the bone must be optimal. If not, an additional bone graft or breast lift treatment will be required.
The cost of one fixed crown on implant It can vary from $1,200,000 pesos (COP).
Removable Prosthetics
Removable prostheses are those that can be removed and put on. They are also known as removable dentures or dentures.
The advantage of this type of prosthesis is that you can remove them when you need it and put them back on without inconvenience to do good oral hygiene.
Within this type of removable prostheses you can find:
-
- Overdentures
- Total prostheses
- Partial dentures
We can stabilize the removable prosthesis with implants to perform a implant-mucus-retained prosthesis (overdenture). In this way we will prevent the prosthesis from moving and shifting when talking or eating.
This type of prosthesis helps to improve the quality of life and is the most used in the elderly.
The cost of a total prosthesis it can vary from $900,000 pesos (COP).
