Whatever treatment you are interested in, cost certainly will be a factor in your decision making. But to be perfectly blunt about it, no conscientious wholistic dentist can ever answer that question before learning a little or a lot more about you and your personal circumstances. Please excuse my brief rant here, but quality dental care is not a commodity.
Buying a crown is not like buying a refrigerator. Any given refrigerator model should be the same no matter what store you get it from, so price shopping for one of those can be fairly straight forward. Dental crowns, implants, and dentures, on the other hand, are services not commodities. Each one is as unique as the person it is designed for.

Services
Let's face it, you get what you pay for - or at least you should! So please don't confuse "AFFORDABLE DENTURES" with "cheap dentures". Each of our dentists is hand picked for their dedication to dental excellence, and have dedicated their practices to making the very best dental care available to anyone who really wants it.
Among the first things you will notice when you meet Dr. Peckham are his boots and jeans, which are your first clue as to his relaxed and laid back attitude. Never in a hurry, or too busy to give you his undivided attention; he'll make you feel, despite being surrounded by the latest in modern dental equipment, as if you have stepped back in time, returning to a place where you the patient are more important than the money.
The quick answer? I don't know! I can tell you this though, anyone who does quote you a fee without first getting to know you - your dental history, your goals, your current condition - either doesn't understand or doesn't care about providing you with personalized custom denture care.
At the risk of getting too high on my soap box, let me just say that one of the huge problems we dentists have created for ourselves and our patients is the "commoditization" of our profession - allowing insurance companies to promote the idea that all dentures, crowns, extractions, root canals, or whatever, are the same and should therefore cost the same.

Dental implants are utilized to permanently replace a solitary tooth or a number of tooth which have been misplaced because of to a dental disease or harm. It also arrives in beauty dentistry treatment simply because it not only corrects the issues that accompany missing tooth, but it also aesthetically enhances your smile.
With all the different choices and prices out there, it can be quite a challenge deciding which option is going to be best for you. However, for those who are equally interested in quality and value, we have simplified the options down to two basic choices - what we call Custom and Master denture styles.
