Default cost of partial dentures

Hi Pamster!

Partial dentures vary in cost from one dental office to another. It all depends on what material is used to fabricate the partial and how much the lab fee is to the dentist. I couldn't even give you a ball park idea because it varies that much!

Your best bet is to call a few local dental offices and ask them for a ballpark figure and then do some averaging based on the fees that they give you.

Hope you are doing ok other than that broken tooth!!

Thanks Bryanna for any help you can offer about costs involved. I am just worried about it. And want to know what's involved with planning for this stage of restoration of my bite, since implants are too costly unless I get a couple of novels sold and so far that's not happening. But I am not giving up.
