Dentures are prosthetic devices that are used to replace missing teeth. These are most commonly used for completely edentulous patients. Although commonly thought of as removable prosthesis, dentures can actually be fixed by bonding or clasping to adjacent teeth or implants.
Like most dental treatments, the prices of dentures in America and Canada may seem intimidating and put you off dental work, and that’s one reason you may want to consider a dental trip to Los Algodones, Mexico.
Although dentures are mostly fully or partially covered by insurance, data from the National Health Interview Survey, 2008, reflects that nearly one out of every four Americans under the age of 65 does not have dental insurance.
This translates to nearly 45 million Americans without any form of dental coverage! Traveling to Algodones may just save you a lot of money and the long wait you expect at your local dentist’s.
Upper or Lower complete dentures in Los Algodones will cost you between $230 and $350.
For the material, you can choose between acrylic and porcelain teeth.
Partial dentures can be availed for around $480.
Choose between metal framework and flexible framework.

More About the Types of Dentures
You can opt for conventional dentures or immediate dentures. The former are placed only weeks after your teeth have been extracted and the gum tissue has started healing. Immediate dentures, on the other hand, are constructed on the models formed when you still have some teeth.
When you go for extraction your dentist will likely have a denture ready, which will be placed immediately after he removes your teeth.
The latter is usually given only in cases where the teeth are highly mobile and can be extracted without causing any trauma to the adjacent tissues.
While it has the advantage of allowing the wearer to have teeth during the healing period, immediate dentures require adjusting since bones and gum tend to shrink while healing. Largely, they are considered a temporary solution until conventional dentures are made.
A removable partial denture or bridge usually has a prosthetic tooth, which is attached to a plastic base resembling gums. This base is then connected by a metal framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth.
Advantages of Dentures:
- Mastication: Chewing without teeth is nearly impossible. By restoring your teeth, the dentures are going to restore your ability to chew properly again.
- Speech: The teeth in your mouth also affect your speaking abilities and dentures can sure help the edentulous with that.
- Appearance: Without the teeth in place, an individual’s teeth tend to collapse giving a sunken appearance. The dentures can save you the embarrassment of missing teeth.
Missing teeth can cause you to lead a compromised life, and you do not have to put up with that when help is available just across the border.
