Partial Dentures Cost in Vietnam (Part Two): How Much Do Partial Dentures Cost in Vietnam
The Top 10 Things You Should Know Regarding Tooth/ Teeth Replacement by A Partial Denture in Vietnam.
Partial dentures are often an option for patients suffering from partial tooth loss who need to take account of the comparatively higher cost of implants and bridges. With a partial, gaps in the teeth can be restored without the need for any invasive procedure at all. Procedures like Crowns, bridges and implants are not affordable for some patients. However, if complications brought on by the dentures lead to other expenses and dental problems that could have otherwise been avoided and end up costing you quite a bit.
In our last article, we looked at five key considerations for patients thinking of opting for partial dentures. Our second piece focuses on actual partial dentures cost - and what financial consequences may result from this particular dental instrument. Here we have the Top 5 things to know about partial dentures to help you be aware of how to prevent problems and higher dental related costs.
You simply don’t want to lose another tooth from having a partial denture made. Then added headache and stress to redo, remake or even frustrate you is a pain in the mouth. Losing more teeth will lead to you getting closer to full dentures.
#5. Partial dentures without tooth support can lead to further bone loss in the future
One unfortunate thing about partial dentures that cover the gum areas which can lead to accelerated bone loss. This is because whenever anything like a denture puts pressure on the gums and underlying bone, they shrink. Every time you eat, if there is some significant "pounding of the plastic on the gum", your underlying bone may atrophy. If the bony ridge is gone, you might begin to experience "sunken denture face" and may be at risk of losing all future bone for replacement with implants. Even your upper lip may begin to sag with further bone loss. One or two implants can solve this issue by allowing the stress to be on the implant and not on your gums, reducing this problem of bone loss.
It’s believed that excessive trauma to the remaining gum ridge can be prevented by distributing the forces of occlusion over as many teeth and as much of the available soft tissue area as possible. This can also be done via design changes, such as by means of additional rests, indirect retainers, clasps and broad coverage of the denture base. Technical stuff that your dentist and dental laboratory will need to consider.
#4. Excessive forces (grinders) and poor fit or design can cause further teeth damage.
The design of your partial is critical to avoid negative forces on your existing teeth. Dentists know from the vast amount of scientific evidence that excessive force on an abutment tooth - which is an anchor tooth for the partial - can lead to the early loss of that tooth.
Try using Google and type in "stress on partial denture abutments in design" and then you will see how much research has been devoted to this issue! It only stands to reason, then, that your dentist should be analyzing how well certain teeth will respond to the denture utilizing 3D models, an analysis that can save significant partial dentures cost in the long term. While his/ her technician may not have sufficient X-ray information to know how stable the teeth really are, as long as forces occurring with the prosthesis are minimized within the tolerance limit of the tissue, pathological changes will not occur.
An incorrectly fitted partial denture can put pressure on certain points in the mouth, giving rise to soreness. If this happens, your dentist should make adjustments to improve the fit. Another tip is that you are best advised to remove the dentures at night to ease the pressure.
#3. Partial denture cost can vary by a lot.
If you’re concerned about partial dentures cost, be sure to know what you’re getting for design and materials. If you’re looking at this less expensive alternative and are concerned about costs, then you’ll need to know the differences in the pricing level. If they’re made completely out of plastic, then that is the most affordable version of a partial denture. The more metal incorporated into the design work by your dentist and his/her laboratory leads to a higher price. Furthermore, design features such as clasps or bars can help keep them in place in the mouth. This has a big advantage in stability while speaking and eating.
If you’re looking at this less expensive alternative, then it’s a fair choice to have it made completely out of plastic. This is the most affordable version to save partial dentures cost.
The more time your dentist and dental laboratory spend on the denture design and manufacturing process will also be reflected in the price. Generally, quick impressions and quick deliveries bring fewer costs for patients. Paying for a good design is worth just as much as the materials used.
#2. They can attract plaque and trauma, and you can lose one of the supporting teeth.
Improper attention to oral hygiene can result in plaque buildup around the abutment teeth, causing gum disease. Here’s a secret: dentists know that the placement of a clasp or plastic next to the empty space creates the potential for the rocking of this once healthy tooth. You need a very good design and good hygiene habits to prevent cavities, loosening of the teeth and the potential loss of any teeth once a partial denture goes in, eventually contributing to partial dentures cost.
If you’re afraid your remaining teeth may not be suitable to support a partial denture, then considering a fixed tooth replacement option such as an implant or bridge may be advisable or find out how #1 below can help you.
#1. If you want the best retentive outcome, consider the strategic placement of one or two implants before making your removable.
Partial dentures are a great solution for patients with multiple missing teeth, and partial dentures cost can be significantly lower than it is for other options - such as many dental implants. But in some cases, such as with missing side teeth, one strategically placed tooth implant can be dramatically helpful in retaining your denture more drastically while eating.
Since you only use one implant, it is very cost effective. The problem is that if this opportunity is not discussed in the beginning, you may pay for a removable and then realize you can’t function well with it. This may have you not wear it at all. Only then might your dentist suggest doing another procedure with one or two implants. Who will pay the cost to remake a new denture? Most likely you, of course.
