For those struggling with tooth loss, the financial aspect of dentures can be a weighty concern and a source of stress. Financial worry can often prevent us from seeing the priceless benefits of such an investment: the freedom from discomfort, the renewed confidence to engage fully in social interactions, and the ability to savor life’s simple joys without inhibition. It’s an investment not just in your teeth but in your well-being and quality of life. Finding affordable dentures should not be a chore. It should be a stepping stone to a new and secure smile.
At Centre for Smile Designs, we know that beautiful, functional dentures can be life-changing. That’s why we prioritize affordable options so that cost does not keep our patients from prioritizing their oral health and happiness.
Understanding Affordable Dentures 
Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth. If you are considering dentures, it is helpful to understand the different types so that you can decide which may be best for you.
- Full dentures: These dentures replace a full set of teeth. They sit directly on your gums and use suction and moisture in your mouth to stay in place. Some individuals use adhesives to help the dentures feel more stable.
- Partial dentures: As their name suggests, partial dentures are for those with some remaining natural teeth. They attach to your existing teeth with clasps.
- Implant overdentures: This option is a much more stable alternative to traditional full dentures. At Centre for Smile Designs, we secure dentures with mini dental implants for maximum stability. Considering their longevity and durability, these overdentures are a very cost-effective option.
Affordable Dentures With Mini Dental Implants
Implant-retained overdentures are dentures that attach to mini dental implants with rubber O-rings, allowing them to snap into place. The implants are narrow titanium posts that anchor your dentures, giving you a stable bite. These mini dental implants make overdentures a more secure solution and offer multiple benefits.
Unlike traditional dentures that are likely to come loose, implant dentures are held firmly in place thanks to the implants’ strength. Say goodbye to embarrassing slips or uncomfortable sores. Because implant dentures don’t budge, there is no friction on the gums, so you can chew comfortably and speak clearly.
Additionally, traditional dentures do not prevent bone or tissue loss in the jaw. This means that over time, the fit of the dentures worsens, and your physical appearance can also change, leading to a sunken look. Implant dentures help you to maintain jawbone strength because the implants function as the root of your tooth and stimulate bone growth. Thanks to the implants’ integration with the jawbone, you don’t have to worry about changes to your facial appearance.
What Makes Implant Dentures Affordable?
If you are looking for long-lasting treatment, implant overdentures are the more cost-effective option. Since they are more secure and stable, their lifespan is significantly longer. The post-treatment expenses for traditional dentures compared to overdentures differ significantly. Traditional dentures might have an initial cost advantage over overdentures due to the absence of implant placement. However, ongoing adjustments or replacements will increase expenses over time. Because overdentures are more stable and the implants prevent changes to your jaw and gums, they don’t need periodic adjustments. This makes them more affordable as they save on long-term maintenance costs.
While the specific costs of your treatment will depend on your unique needs, our goal is to make your experience as stress-free as possible. For those with dental insurance, we will file your claim and help you maximize your coverage. If you don’t have insurance, we offer an in-house dental savings program that provides discounts on various procedures. Looking for additional financing options?

These lenders offer plans with 0% introductory rates and allow you to spread out your payments in manageable monthly installments. Whatever your current financial situation, we will help you find a payment path that works for your budget.
Are Implant-Retained Dentures Right for Me?
Compared with conventional dentures, implant-retained overdentures are often favored for their superior fit, enhanced comfort, and cost-effectiveness. The design of overdentures ensures a secure fit and minimizes friction on the gums, promoting a more comfortable experience for wearers. Combining improved fit, reduced discomfort, and a more natural function makes these snap-in dentures a preferred choice for many seeking dental prosthetics. Plus, with so many payment options, implant-retained dentures ensure you can achieve a confident and functional smile without compromising your financial comfort.
