Can anyone tell me how much a set of top dentures would be please?

Question

I pay into a Denplan scheme - but now due to gum disease, my top teeth all seem to be coming loose (I'm only 52!) So I am thinking about dentures (reluctantly) and wonder how much they will cost approximately!? Thanks.

Answer 1

my top dentures were around $1000 but mine are also made of titanium so that is probably a little more expensive.  

Answer 2

I would try any treatment to cure your gum disease that you can before getting dentures. If you have a dental plan, surely your dentist has you on a course of treatment for your gum disease. I would ask your dentist what dentures would cost you under your dental plan for an accurate answer. The cost varies wildly from one dentist to another.

Answer 3

I don't know anything about your Denplan scheme.

                                  I am with the NHS scheme.

I had been on a course of (NHS) tablets for a year, I was advised any dental extractions would cause a lot of bleeding, this put me right off going to the dentist.

                                   I finally finished the tablet treatment and went to my dentist, he made a plan, four teeth to come out, some roots to be removed and a set of upper false teeth to be made up and fitted, total bill £270.

                                     I thought that was pretty good?

Answer 4

I had exactly the same problem and took a long time to work it out!

Teeth grinding (the proper name is bruxism) can not only be irritating - it can be dangerous, too.

My name is Charles Harrison. Throughout my childhood, I would grind my teeth at night. By the time I was 9, you could notice that my teeth were as flat as if they were filed down!

At 12 years old, I finally found a dentist who understood the damage I was causing to myself. He explained to me that it was called bruxism and he helped me understand why it was so important to stop.

He fitted me with a $500 “night guard” to protect my teeth while I sleep. I could tell that I was still grinding my teeth while wearing this device, because I could see dents and grind marks on the night guard.

Then one day, I discovered I had lost my night guard. So, I bought a sports mouth guard. Guess how long this lasted me?

ONE NIGHT!

When I realized nobody could help me, I decided to help myself.

I would begin by testing myself to find out what helped and what didn’t.

It took me a few months to perform the tests on myself because I let each test go for a few days to see more accurate results.

And you know what?

By making some simple life changes and performing daily 2-minute exercises, I saw a dramatic improvement.

I discovered there is a Way to Stop grinding your teeth at night.
