Cost of Flexible Partial Dentures in Ellicott City

With that in mind, costs here in the Baltimore-DC area are similar to nationwide costs for flexible partial dentures. It ranges from about $800 to $1,500 per arch.

An "arch" is either the top or bottom set of teeth. Our price would include all of the work we do — there wouldn't be any hidden fees or surprises.

Large Range in Flexible Dentures Prices

One of the reasons that the prices vary so much between different people is that flexible dentures have a lot of range of complexity. One person might have very simple needs, while another might have a relatively complex tooth replacement situation. The more complicated things are, the more work we have to do as dentists to get the denture feeling as lifelike as possible.

It also bears mentioning that there are some options that might fall to either side of this average. For example, there's something called a Nesbit partial that replaces one to three teeth. That would naturally cost less than a partial denture that replaces nearly all the teeth in an arch.

Why Flexible Partials?

Flexible partial dentures are among the most popular types of tooth replacement for a number of reasons. They are non-invasive (compared to implants) and they do not use any wires or metal clasps. Their flexible material also provides better tissue coverage, which tends to make the denture more comfortable and more suitable for people with gum disease or periodontal recession.

The dentures are relatively durable, too. They are highly resistant to breakage and last around 15 years with regular checkups and good maintenance. They keep their aesthetic value for that long, too.
