How much do overdentures cost, how much does a snap in denture cost?

- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- In this video I tell you how much a snap in denture costs. Since there are many variables involved, I give the cost of having 2 implants placed, 2 snap on locator posts on the implants and a lower snap in overdenture with a metal framework embedded inside the plastic to give it more strength.
Thanks very much for watching.

Thank you for actually giving an idea of costs...
I am so sick of "well could be 17k per arch, or 30k per arch", or all together no pricing at all. A lot of places I have contacted seem to want a way to wiggle the cost as high as possible when possible.
You're welcome. Thank you very much for watching!
They all don't divulge their prices so they can get you to come in, how can one get estimates when you get pay consultation to just find a price??
As i said i got 6 implants on upper and bar over denture i prefer to get it done in ireland then its only 20 mins in my car il be finished the whole progress in 2 weeks cant wait iv been waiting a long time for this il keep smiling 😁♥️
Finally a dentist who is willing to give some version of an actual price. Instead of saying "the cost depends on this, it depends on that, it depends it depends it depends on many factors" and then giving no dollar amount even though their video title says that it's a talk about the cost. So thank you for that!
You're welcome! Thank you very much for watching!
1000% agree!! Even patient reviews don't discuss (often).... the variables that impacted their own costs. Any transparency at all, is better than nothing 💜 ... I'm navigating this process from Nh. I appreciate the close reference 😉

Getting that kind of honesty from a dentist is like pulling THEIR teeth......thanks big time
Thank you very much Tom! And thank you very much for watching!
I had remaining teeth extracted. Then I had a temporary set of teeth to wear while my post healed. Four on top and four on bottom. Then I healed and then they sent out to have the permanents made. It cost me $21,000.00 for everything. This is in Texas. Others wanted more and I am satisfied with the work that was done. Forgot that there were adjustments made along the way. No more gum pain and trying to chew with what teeth I had left.
I'm going to the Dental school in the large town in my area, they quoted me
75$ for each extraction 750.00 for ten, two lower implants at 700.00 each, lower and upper dentures 600.00, and 200.00 for abutments. 2950.00 for everything.
I have tried calling and researching other dental services, but they won't give me a straight answer.
The Dental school is UAB, and I've heard they do state of the art work, but like all of us this is all new to me so I am apprehensive about the whole thing.
Thank you for the comment. Thank you very much for watching!
Where are you located ??
So how are your dentures now?
My whole procedure costs 13k w/ 3 extracted teeth, bone grafting, two implants, two posts, top and bottom dentures, and an alveoloplasty. Also included was all the dentist work like adjustments etc... This is in Tampa Fl

@@adamwhite425for everything?
I am going in for my implant surgury on March 2nd, 2021. I am only having the top over denture, as I still have my bottom teeth. The denture itself, same as what you describe in your video (except with 4 snaps), is costing $5250.00. This price includes all moldings fittings and adjustments. My implant surgery is four 4 implants and 1 bone graft. The cost is $9,300.00. They are charging $2100.00 per implant. So, my total is $14,500.00. I live in Charlotte NC if that makes a difference.

@@VeryNiceSmileDental I have been researching implant supported over dentures and where to have the treatment, quality and cost, and so far Hungary seems to be one of the best countries.

I was just quoted 19 extractions, alveoplasty on 4 sides of jawbone tops and bottom 20k out the door. Selling some items like extra cars and such to hurry and get it done.
Thank you for video. How would someone deal with lisp after?
How old is the overdenture? If it's new, the person may just need some time to get used to it. If the person still lisps after practicing with it, the area behind the upper front teeth (the palate) probably needs to be adjusted.
Just started this process today. Total is $5,400. Lexington, Ky. I already have no teeth.
Thank you for the comment and thank you very much for watching!
Lower and upper ??
Is this for both?
I’m not far from you, so I hope mine will be affordable too. Was that before insurance? And was that for both upper and lower?
Great video. It covered exactly what I am looking for, a lower snap in denture. (I'm a new denture wearer, upper & lower). Your implant cost is reasonable, as I've seen a lot higher. I'm not near New York, and am currently looking to get the work in Las Vegas, and hoping to find someone soon. Left wondering if I can wear my current denture over implants while they heal and bone adapts? I was not aware of the metal bar you show. Am I incorrect to assume that it could be done without the lower bar and the cost might be lowered that way?
Hi, yes you can wear your current denture while the implants heal. It will need to be adjusted so it doesn't put pressure on the implants as they are healing. As to the metal, the cost in my office would be the same with or without the metal bar. I highly recommend the metal bar, and won't make the overdenture without it. Thank you very much for watching!
Thank you for this video. Its very informative. Does dental insurance cover an overdenture?
It depends on the particular insurance policy. Some will, some won't.
here in st.louis missouri one snap on implant $1700 , in june 2022. i think that is expensive vs NY. probably very expensive .
it should be around $1000 .
especially we are in 2022 where routine and availability is different than 10 or 15 years ago.
but money grabbers are 97 % of dentists, only fewer are true human dentist doctors , i know i visited at lest 15 different dentists in 16 years time repairs, extractions, root canals, many many crowns and 2 bridges replaced twice, etc. received over 1000 anesthetic injections some time up to 6 on one treatment , sometimes 5 and nothing had to stop and come another day to do tooth work .
good dentists are rare !
Thank you very much for watching!
i have a question. after years of use, do you have to tighten up the screws again? if so, how does that work? i guess this is mainly a question for those who have 4 implants. i'm not sure how the bar works.
Hi, thanks for the question. The locator posts tend not to loosen once they are screwed into place on the implants. If they do loosen or wear out, they are simple to retighten or replace.
In Cancun it around $11,600.00 to have your teeth pulled, bone graft’s where needed, 8 mini implants for the top and 8 mimi implants for the bottom,IV sedation both top and bottom palateless dentures that are made from diamond rock and all doctors fees etc.
so far I haven’t found anything close here in the states.
I decided on palateless, snap on dentures because dentists here don’t want to work on another dentist’s product, especially from another country. So if you get the All on Fours, you have to have them serviced every 6 months. Good luck finding a dentist here that’s willing to service them. Snap on’s you can clean. Good luck!
How long have you had your snap on dentures? Thanks for the comment and thank you very much for watching!
Hello Doctor, thanks for your reply's and help.
Can you tell me is conscious sedation popular with implants and is it necessary
Kind regards
Dennis
Hi Dennis, conscious sedation is very popular with anxious patients and patients undergoing larger procedures such as All on 4. Patients who only get one or two implants (even 4 implants for overdentures) generally don't get sedation unless they are anxious. All on 4 usually involves removing all the teeth, placing implants, and trimming down the jawbone. For all that work, patients usually prefer to be sedated. I hope I answered your question.
Thank you very much Doctor, I think I will go for sedation, actually I'm sure of it !!.
Kind regards Dennis
Glad I could help!
I'm doing just the top, just got my four posts and with insurance it's roughly 3k
Thank you for your comment. Good luck with the process. Let me know how it goes, and thank you very much for watching.
In England four upper Inplants and the snap on Theeth cost me nothing had it done in Guys hospital in London has taken 2 years but that is down to the pandemic and i am classed as extremely clinically vulnerable patient but the wait was worth it have to go back to tell them how satisfied i am or not in two weeks all on the NHS with two consultants and one professor and a few dental assistance Guys is a teaching hospital and in my opinion the best in the world .ps no pain at any stage 👍

Thanks
You're welcome!
Good evening Doctor
I'm sorry to be a pain. I think of you as my guardian angel . My dentist here in London has not explained much to me. I guess it's because I'm having the implants abroad.
I will keep you informed in my journey to have a nice smile.
Thanking you.
Dennis.
No worries Dennis, glad I can help. If you get your implants abroad, try to make sure they are a brand that is available in the UK. I've seen patients here in the US who had implants placed in their home countries. They see me once an implant abutment post comes loose, it should be a simple repair, but I can't order a replacement screw since the brand is not sold in the US.
Hello Doctor, that's very good information thank you. I certainly will ask about the replacement screw , perhaps I can take a spare one back from Turkey
Kind regards
Dennis
Minnesota here. I'm half-way into traditional dentures (upper and lower). All teeth have been pulled (4 months ago) and have been doing weekly and bi-weekly adjustments, but it's getting very difficult to keep up with because I'm a paraplegic with MS and have to use public transportation. Plus I have barely been able to wear my temporary (very generic) dentures due to the gum pain and difficulty in cleaning off all the adhesive needed to keep them in. Still on a mashed potatoes and applesuce diet.
So, I am re-considering getting implants. I'm going in for my THIRD consultation to compare costs. So far I've been told nearly $40k for fixed implants (all inclusive) by one place and around $20k by another (not including all the extractions since they are done already) for snap-on implants (4 implants on each arch). At almost 70 years old, I'm not interested in acquiring massive dental debt (I might not live long enough to pay it off, lol). I'll follow up here with my final results and costs.
But in the meantine, I do have a question. I've not heard anyone here or in any video speak of "tiny bone splinters" that have to migrate out of the gums. Is this just "a given" so no one mentions it? And how does this factor into the whole process?
Thanks, Doc for your reply and for the great videos you have here on RUclips. 😊
MA in MN
Hi, the bone splinters are called "bone spicules". Usually they're bits of bone that instead of being resorbed by your body during healing, they get pushed out instead. They're not a problem usually, just an annoyance until the extraction site is fully healed.
Good luck with your implant journey. Another option that I've done for patients is to make a full upper denture and a lower overdenture on 2 implants if cost is a concern. The dentures don't stay in as well as they would with 4 implants in each jaw, but it works much better than upper and lower full dentures. Something to consider.
I spent $10,000 in total for full mouth. 6 inplants on top and 4 on the bottom
Nice! Are you happy with the implants and teeth?
so far I love them I will be saving for pair better quality

Hi bru1015 I live in Gilbert just outside of Phoenix and was wondering how everything worked out since you posted this? And can you recommend a dentist?... Hope everything went well for you.
Some dentists are doing same day implants for people having extractions that don’t want to wait for their posts to be put in. Is that something that’s safe?
Yes, it is safe to have that done. That is called an "immediate implant", the implant is placed at the same visit the tooth is removed. Your dentist will tell you if it's a good choice for your situation. Thank you very much for watching.

Dear Doctor
Firstly thanks for all your help and I'm sorry for been a nuisance .
I was told that it is £250 GBH for 1 hour to have conscious sedation.
I have 3 teeth and 1 root to be extracted . How long will the procedure take ?
Would it be okay to have conscious sedation for the hour to have the worst of it over ?
Very kind regards
Dennis
Without seeing the teeth and an x-ray, I can't give you an accurate estimate as to how long it will take to remove the teeth. It could be 5 minutes, it could take 35 minutes (not including the time it takes to anesthetize the teeth and perform the sedation). If you are anxious about the procedure, by all means get the sedation. Talk to your dentist, should be able to give you a more accurate time estimate.
@@VeryNiceSmileDentalThank you very much indeed.

Hi Dennis, how did your dentist plan it out? They should tell you how the process will go. When I have a patient who decides on a fixed "all on 4" type of prosthesis, I'll make an initial denture which becomes the "fixed temporary denture" when the oral surgeon removes the teeth and places the implants. The denture gets converted into a "fixed denture" . Once the implants have healed, the temporary fixed denture is replaced with a fixed bridge.
How long does the process take? And how long would we be walking around with no teeth?

Thank you for sharing. How do you like your overdenture?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental They are well made and can eat anything...not chancing eating things as hard as a rock but other than that all went well. My question is would you repair or replace dentures from another practice or would that change in office result in a higher charge. I don't need work now but was thinking of the future and maintenance.
Hi, I charge the same. The fee can vary if other parts need to be replaced in addition to making a new denture. I had a case in which a couple of Locator posts needed to be replaced as well. Fortunately, the implants were still in good shape.
What would be the cost for Crystal Ultra Prosthesis upper and lower?
I've never used Crystal Ultra. It's usually used to make an "all on 4" type of fixed implant bridge. Costs for an "all on 4" typically run between $20k and $30k per arch.

I currently have 4 upper implants with a snap in denture...I dont like it. I have been researching the smart denture conversion kit, is that something you do? Trying to find a dentist that installs i just want something non removable and no more surgeries. I've had the snap in denture for about 5 yrs now. Plz let me know as your office is the closest I've found so far, I'm in Maryland.
If you want to convert from a snap in denture to fixed teeth, I'd recommend you find a dentist close to home since the process can take a few visits and that way if an issues come up during the process, you can be seen right away. The smart conversion kit isn't made for your particular situation. Usually you will need new posts on your implants and a new set of fixed teeth. The dentist will have to check to see if your current implants can be used, it depends on how they are positioned in your jaw.
@Very Nice Smile Dental Ok thanks for responding.
You're welcome! Thank you very much for watching.
Hello Doctor, thanks for your previous attention.
Can I ask what is the difference with fixed dentures and fixed bridges.
Are they both the same please ?
Kind regards Denis
Hi Dennis, a "fixed denture" generally refers to a full arch bridge on implants, (the bridge is not removable by the patient) and the bridge is made out of the same pink denture acrylic and denture teeth (with a metal bar inside for strength) as a denture. It's also referred to as an "all on 4" (although more than 4 implants can be used, in which case it would be called an "all on X" with "X" being the number of implants that were used).
Nowadays, denture material is still used but it's more common to have the full arch bridge made out of zirconia or a polyceramic composite over a fiberglass core (the core material is called "Trinia").
A "fixed bridge" is any type of dental work that is not removable by the patient, and has false teeth with no support directly underneath them. Think of a suspension bridge, the roadway in the middle is supported by the ends but there is nothing directly beneath it holding it up.
I hope I explained it well.
I just had the top done in Houston texas they toke out 5 teeth and put 4 implants on top everthing total cost was 7800 for the bottom taking out 11 teeth 4 implants they wanting 8000 so alittle cheaper

That’s all, awesome - Oh my Lord metal partial for one tooth was $1500 Canadian upper five missing teeth same price extractions were covered and I got a family discount. A little bit more expensive here in Canada smoke 2400 for the implants excluding inbutnents.. You just pay for the dental lab fee which is the cost of the work I don’t know if there’s a what’s the word I’m looking for if dentist put on additional cost for the last three orders I just paid paid because my cousin doesn’t mark up the fee
Thanks for the comment and thank you very much for watching! Dental costs are priced out differently in Canada I think. I heard that patients pay the lab fees separate from the dentist fees. Is that correct?
I don’t think so it’s work together depending on your insurance if you cover for Sherance for dentures but not implants but my dentist is my cousin so I get a discount, LOL so extractions are covered lab fees are not covered so that’s how it’s done that make any sense I don’t have full dentures I have partial upper and lower metal

Will you perform bottom snap on dentures without the use of antibiotics ? Do all dentists require it or does it vary office to office ? Thanks for the video, very helpful.
Hi, I will prescribe antibiotics when I'm placing the implants. The recommended dosage is usually 2 grams of amoxicillin an hour before getting the implants placed (as long as you are not allergic to penicillin). Previously, offices were prescribing a weeks worth of antibiotics, and prior to that, a months worth. The antibiotics help to decrease the chance of implant failure. Are you worried about taking antibiotics? Thank you very much for watching!
I would like to know does fixed implant dentures sit on the gums are the implants . I don't want the pressure on my gums
Fixed implants will touch the gums to keep food from getting underneath the teeth but the implants are supporting the biting forces on the teeth. Thank you very much for watching.
Thank you very much for your reply. Is it right to understand that the fixed dentures have a little space between the dentures and the gums . I appreciate it.
Kind regards
Dennis@@VeryNiceSmileDental
Fixed implant supported teeth don't have a flange like a denture does. So the fixed dentures will touch the gums but the part that touches the gums should be convex so that it is easy to clean. I hope that makes sense.
Thank you very much indeed, your a great help to me. I've never had nice teeth, been brought up in the country , the dentist in our village was a jack of all trades and a drunk !! and he broke my teeth and left the roots in !

Thank you for the information. Good luck with the overdentures and let me know how they turn out. Thank you very much for watching!
Hi after having an post retained overdenture placed how much maintenance would it require yearly or whenever the posts need to adjusted.
Hi, the most common maintenance item is the plastic snap inserts. They need to be replaced from time to time as they wear, you'll know because the overdenture doesn't stay in as well. The overdenture itself will need to be relined after several years , just like a regular denture. If you wear the overdenture without getting a reline, it will start to wear the implant posts down. The posts are replaceable and can be removed from the implants.
Hi thanks for your prompt reply. Are these inserts an expensive replacement and how often would they need changing. Regards
Sorry, I just saw this comment today. The inserts are relatively inexpensive to replace. In my experience, they need to be replaced maybe once every couple of years.
Hi doctor the implant for snap dentures can be used for permanent dentures if I decide to upgrade later ? please
Hi, it depends on the situation. Sometimes they can be used for permanent teeth, sometimes they are not in the ideal position for permanent teeth.

Thank you. How many implants are you getting?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental 4 on top 2 on the bottom.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental I do have a quick question. If I had impressions taken of my top teeth, which I have all but my wisdom, will my dentures be shaped like my natural teeth? I am really hoping so. I love my front teeth and my parents spent a ton to get them straight. I just have very brittle teeth and bones. I was allergic to milk from day one and I am not a great eater so malnutrition is definitely a problem too. I was just curious about the look. Thank you in advance for your time and answer.
The dentures won't be an exact match to your own teeth, but talk to your dentist about your concerns. Let them know so that they can make them look as much as your own teeth as possible.
Cost of living is definitely a factor! Glad you came at it from that angle.
Thank you, I wanted to let people know that the cost will vary across the country.
I'm over in Saint Louis and Aspen dental total is 25k for 12 extractions 4 top implants and 2 bottom for snap ins.... They're saying my insurance is paying 12k and 6k insurance discount my oop is 8k.... Does that sound right? I have Tricare Prime united Concordia and I'm worried I'm gonna get screwed paying 8k then hit with well insurance didn't end up paying 12k and I owe THOUSANDS MORE
Double check the amount your insurance will cover. Most dental insurances have a max payout of $1500 to $2000 per year.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental that's exactly what I thought... The max annual is only 1500! I just looked at estimate and they're saying insurance is paying 6.5k the 12k is actually insurance ''discount"...I mixed the 2 up but still 6.5k isn't 1.5k. I've had it 4yrs and never used it so could they be paying that amount from me not using it for those years... I'm confused! I'm going to Aspen today to pay the 60% of my oop so I'll ask more questions. United Concordia said I would have make Aspen send a pre authorization but told it takes 30-45 days and I'm in too much pain. I wish I still lived in NJ bc I would 100% go to you. I wish I could find dentist in Saint Louis as educated as you and on social media, can't find any!
Definitely double check the costs before you proceed. Pre-authorizations are not guarantees that the insurance company will pay. Thank you very much for the kind words. Let me know how things go.
Regular dentures for the top. Needed bone graft, can't afford it. The lower I have 4 implants and I guess they are giving me snap on dentures. 5200$; I needed 12 teeth removed and didn't have to pay that, my insurance paid that part.
Mine all went bad within a 5yr period. All the soda finally caught up with me....
Most of my patients do very well with a regular denture on top and a lower overdenture. Thank you very much for sharing and thank you very much for watching!
Mine will cost $20,053.00. I need about 11 extractions and 4 upper and 4 Lower implants.
Thank you very much for sharing! I hope all goes well with the procedure. Let me know how it goes.
I have no dental insurance. My local dentist is extracting my teeth for free. He’s also letting me finance my dentures. Snap on seems to be my best bet.
Good luck with your journey, let me know how it goes.
Dear Doctor
Firstly thank you very much for replying to my previous questions.
I've had all on 4 , top and bottom jaws and my own teeth extracted in Turkey last November 2021
Every thing seems to be okay with my temporary fixed bridges .
But the top temporary bridge seems to be a tiny bit loose just a little with a clicking noise ? when I press it up with my fingers . Is this normal please ?
I don't seem to have any infections and swelling has gone down with just a little discomfort at times.
I take regular mouth washes and salt water too.
I will appreciate your knowledge immensely
Kind Regards from Dennis London.
Hello Mr. Walker, it sounds like one of the screws that holds in your upper temporary bridge has come loose. The bridge should be firmly in place with no movement. Get it looked as soon as you can. That type of movement in the bridge, even just a tiny bit of movement, could end up breaking the screw, the abutment, or even the implant.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rich
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Dear Doctor Rich
Thank you very much indeed, If I lived in the USA I would have no hesitation to have you as my dentist .
It seems to me that all 4 of the screws are not tight enough. I just noticed the other day when I put my fingers in to see how sturdy it was , mind you its just a tiny movement like a suction - air trap and a little click if I'm explaining it right.
I don't chew any food that is tough and I look after them the best I can,
I'm due to have my real teeth in 4 months time and I'm going to pay the extra to have them here in the UK to be able to converse in English and have some understanding and after care.
I think it was a bit brutal in Turkey to have my teeth extracted and 8 implants without a anesthetic just injections !
Is it possible for a dentist to break teeth and then drill a hole to accommodate the implants ??. It's just that I seen little bits of bone flying about when he was drilling !. I was drained and traumatized when he finished to say the least !!
Thank you very much Doctor, It's a privilege to talk to you.
Kind regards
Dennis
Hopefully the screws holding in your temporary bridge just need to be tightened. Have it looked at as soon as you can to avoid any complications.
Yes having all your teeth extracted and that many implants placed in one visit is a lot of work to have done. Most of my patients elect to be sedated for that type of work. And yes, teeth are extracted and holes are drilled for the implants, and usually bone needs to shaved down as well to make room for the temporary fixed bridge.
Let me know how it goes when you see your dentist.
Here in TX in 2024 it's $2500 per implant.. I only wish that I could afford them on a disability salary lol My Dentist said that I didn't have enough bone up top for snap in implants which sucks also
Hi Mike, most people do really well with a full upper denture. Hopefully you have a well shaped jaw and it will work for you.
Is the $3800.00 "Over Denture" itself made of porcelain or acrylic?
Hi, the overdenture is made out of denture acrylic.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Hello Dr. Rich. Thank you for your quick reply. I have been watching your great videos on the process of and the cost of Overdentures at your practice. Unfortunately, I cannot go to you for my Dental Implant work because I live in Londonderry, N.H, 45 miles North of Boston. Thankfully there are a good number of very good Dental Practices for me to choose from here as well.
I wonder if you could answer a couple of questions I have about the process. I just had the first Consultation visit and follow up consultation visit after he got everything back from the lab. I was given 3 options, 2 of which were way beyond my means so I went with the 3rd and most affordable option of a 3 implant snap on/overdenture made of zirconia over pmma for my lower arch and a traditional removable denture for my upper arch, also made of zirconia over pmma. For the traditional and "Immediate" non retained upper arch denture made of zirconia I have been quoted a price of $5049.00. For the 3 implant snap on/overdenture for my lower arch I have been quoted a price of $12.019.00. My dentist is sending me out to an oral maxillofacial surgeon to have the remaining 16 teeth in my mouth extracted. Based on online estimates I can expect to pay somewhere between 300.00 to 400.00 for each of the 16 of my extractions, which looks like will be costing between 5 and 6 thousand. Are the extractions the only thing the Oral Surgeon will be doing or is there something else I can look forward to paying for? lol 🙂 I do not need bone grafts so I don't know what else there may be that the Oral Surgeon would have to do. Thanks again for all your great videos. They are most helpful in so many ways. There is a lot of fluff out here on the web on everything and you are a refreshing alternative to that
How long do these dentures last?
Similar to a conventional denture, but the snaps will need to be replaced from time to time. Thank you very much for watching.
It cost me 6000 for implants and another 6500 for bar over denture could you let me know if the price was ok
Hi, how many implants did you get? How is the bar overdenture working for you ?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental 6 implants on top
6 implants
Wow, you're so much lower than all the other YT dentist......But I had a consultation yesterday and with 8 extraction and a temporary denture then everything you pretty much described 7200 which is unbelievable since I was quoted 35K for the same and then 45K for the 4 on 1 6 weeks ago by a dentist 20 minutes from the dentist I was at yesterday.
Thanks for the comment. Fees can vary. All on 4 treatment is more expensive than a snap in denture. Thank you very much for watching!
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Thanks for sharing!
Dr Rich I have a way for you to show people how to remove their snap on dentures with ease.... I have been wearing bar retained snap in dentures for months. Snap on dentures are not easy to remove especially for the elderly. I have away to make this easy for you to make a video to show all how to do this for very very cheap!!!!! :) You can help the people Dr Rich like you always do! :)
Wonderful! I'd love to hear about your idea !
How do I contact you by phone Dr Rich? My wife and I are self employed and can call your office early morning your time. And you will want your model with the snap on over dentures. You will get it in minutes. 😊
Hi, I'm away this weekend but you can find my office phone number on my website, www.verynicesmile.com
Ok thank you Dr Rich I will get your email and send you a quick email. It’s not that technical but wanted you to know first. Thank you. 😊
Looking forward to reading your email!
I hate America’s greed in dental. I’m going to Mexico
Thanks for watching!
Colombia is extremely cheap. I know a place that did my friend's zirconia veneers for 150-200 max per tooth. So I'd assume snap on , or all on four dentures would be extremely cheap. He paid about 6000 for a whole set. Here in the US it's 1500+ per tooth.. over 60k! thats a x10 difference its crazy here
Thanks for watching!
Do You do 3 on 6s and how much for full mouth
Yes, if the situation warrants it. Give us a call or shoot us or an email to set up a free consult to discuss your options.
Where are you located
@@millionaireclubforlife7915 Elmsford, NY. Just outside of White Plains, NY. About a half hour north of NYC.
Is that only for the bottom or both
Just the bottom. Thank you for watching.
Ok
how much is average cost to have 9 teeth extracted while. under iv sedation?
Cost will depend on where you live in the world. Costs will also differ if you have a general dentist pull your teeth or if you have an oral surgeon pull your teeth. There will be a cost for an exam, x-rays, and the 9 extractions, plus IV sedation. Get a couple of estimates in your area.
I don't offer IV sedation, but I do offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
In my office the costs would be roughly $3060. but not with IV sedation, only nitrous oxide and local anesthetic.
My office is a half hour north of New York City.
Hope this helps.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental yes thank you for taking the time to reply. hopefully I will b able to find a oral surgeon because there no way in hell I can sit being awake while a dentist is digging broken decayed teeth out of my jaw . I am deathly afraid of dental work and it's half the reason I'm in this situation to begin w . my dentist of almost 40 yrs passed away several years ago and I haven been able to see a dentist since. sounds crazy but I've had some aweful experiences while I was in the Marine Corp while they used me as a guinea pig to train the naval offices to become dentists . I was hoping to b able to have everything done at once so I didn't have to go without a tooth in my head and could have it all done at once but doubt That is possible . . . insurance is a joke for most part not covering most procedures and having minimal coverage that caps out at 1500 or so if the Dentists offices even take it without paying upfront in hopes of being reimbursed very lil if it's not exempt or preexisting .
Sorry to hear about your situation Sam. Dentistry isn't as bad as it was in the past. What other type of work will you need other than the extractions?
@@VeryNiceSmileDental I will need some type of denture preferably snap in I guess , I haven't been able to speak w anyone about my options or affordability. I'm disabled and on fixed income due to being poisoned while in Marine Corp many yrs ago . so I'm kinda strapped it looks like so I guess I will just keep trying . something has to go in my favor hopefully , I kinda gave up on life a few years ago due to my wife wanting a divorce after 30 yrs and I had gotten sick from the toxins injested yrs prior from serving in military and It took it's toll on me . I gave up n became homeless along w other bad situations and had major surgery n thought I wasn't gonna be here. well that didn't happen and I'm ashamed of myself for allowing life to get the best of me and I fell apart feeling sorry for myself. I'm Back now and gotta lot of fixing n catching up to do but , I'm back on that saddle and ready to get back in the game called life ! I just gotta take things to as they come ! thank you very much for allowing me to vent. I needed that ! lol.
10,600 w/2 implants, no grafts, 23 extractions
Thank you for the comment and thank you very much for watching!
Appreciate you being straightforward but this is exactly why many people go to Mexico for dental work. Many take US dental insurance too…. I’m sorry but I wish I would have went before I spent thousands upon thousands over the years here in America and wastes not only money but TIME.
Thank you very much for watching.
I spent too much- $23000 on top procedure and did not get good results
I should have gotten dentures
Sorry to hear it didn't work well for you. What happened?
I am so confused! Your prices are not bad at all. Why do I hear dentists saying these things cost about 50 Grand?
The expensive implant teeth are the ones that a patient can't remove at home. Generic name for that type of treatment is "All on 4" (even though there may be more than 4 implants, and the teeth may be made out of all zirconia). That type of implant teeth can cost 50 to 60 thousand (or even more) for the entire mouth.
In the video I talk about "snap in dentures", also called "implant overdentures". People choose that treatment usually because it is less expensive and easier to take care of at home.
Thank you very much for watching.
How much for a bar over denture
Hi, usually another $5k or so depending on the case.
Wow i thing I can afford this
I paid 7200$ in Tennessee
Thank you for sharing. I know a great prosthodontist in Tennessee.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental getting over dentures is the best thing I could have ever done for myself, being a portrait photographer I was embarrassed to smile in front of my clients which as you can imagine isn't great for business
I'm glad to hear you are doing well with the overdentures!
@@VeryNiceSmileDental ty Sir and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving
I know it cost a lot it does , I wonder if it's worth all that money .
Patients tell me that they are able to chew much better with snap in dentures than with their old full dentures. I also have quite a few patients that are happy with their conventional dentures. Thank you very much for watching.
If the dude tells you $8K, figure $12K+. If something unexpected goes wrong, it is your dime that will pay for it. And something ALWAYS goes wrong.
Thanks for watching.
I have 10,000 in mine
10k for bottem overdenture only lol no extractions,4 posts with a bar.
Thank you for sharing. How do you like your bar overdenture?
So far so good , I’m in the healing faze , I had to have all my teeth extracted at once after an accident and have had dentures sinse I was 25 , I’m 30 now finally got the implants , I didn’t have enough bone up top , but on the bottem I did. Please if your thinking about doing dentures , you will not be able to live with them longer than5 years comfortably. Ppl might say u can , but you will lose weight and get more sores in your mouth than u could ever imagine . . If u have the financial capability to do the mower implant , do it and save your jaw. I’m at the point we’re it’s almost to late for me. I was lucky
Armed robbery..... even though I have to get it done and pay it and I’m gonna 100% pay it but it’s still armed robbery, I live in Philadelphia. I got my uppers knocked out in. Car accident
