Perfecting The Art of Esthetic Dentures
Costs Associated with Denture Prostheses
Fabrication of a properly-fitting and esthetic complete denture prosthesis takes time, effort and precision. The materials used to construct a denture, however, vary greatly depending on your preference for a "Premium Esthetic", "Standard Esthetic", or "Economical" denture prosthesis:- Premium Esthetic Denture: Ceramic teeth or premium resin-reinforced ceramic teeth used; custom-tinted prosthetic gum tissue (important for individuals with high smile lines or "gummy" smiles), premium-grade denture resin, 5 esthetic wax try-ins prior to processing: $4500 - 5500
- Standard Esthetic Denture: Resin-reinforced teeth used; no custom-tinted gingiva, standard-grade denture resin, 3 esthetic wax try-ins prior to processing: $3500
- Economical Denture: Standard-grade teeth used (may wear more quickly and require replacement more frequently); no custom-tinted gingiva, standard-grade denture resin, 1 esthetic wax try-in prior to processing: $2000
Did you know? Adhesives, like Fixodent or Polident, should never have to be used if a denture is constructed properly. In fact, these denture adhesives contain silicone, which, as you may already know, is extremely harmful to the human body. In excess amounts, silicone can lead to severe digestive disorders and other more serious health problems.
Perfecting the Art of Denture Design
Dr. Michael Gulizio was fortunate to have been expertly trained by a world-reknown Beverly Hills removable prosthodontist who treated celebrities and world leaders. He learned the art of denture construction by understanding the integration of a denture prosthesis with the oral cavity, taking into consideration musculature, ridge support and saliva flow. These techniques, along with his keen "eye" for selecting the right denture tooth based on his patient's eye color, skin tone and personality, have enabled Dr. Gulizio to earn the respect of his colleagues and peers. He has successfully transformed thousands of smiles by taking into careful consideration these important characteristics.
What if I don't have enough bone to keep a denture in place? For individuals whom have had trouble keeping a denture in place (even with adhesives), dental implants may be an ideal solution. A few dental implants in the upper or lower jaw can help stabilize and retain a denture, enabling the individual to chew normal foods like corn on the cob or even a well-done steak.
