Dentures are one of the most important dental investments you can make. Whether you lost your teeth due to injury, disease or age, replacing them is a lifetime commitment and your choice of dentures will influence your appearance and comfort for the next 7-10 years.
Denture cost does play an important role in the type of tooth replacement solution you choose but while cheap dentures may initially seem like a bargain, they ALWAYS end up costing more in the long run.
When selecting the type of denture you need, you should never compromise on function, comfort, or durability. You want your dentures to look and feel as natural as possible.
Although they are initially less expensive, cheap dentures are less affordable in the long run because they come with many additional denture costs such as:
1. Loss of bone density
Your jawbone needs the stimulation of tooth roots to maintain its form, density and strength. Cheap dentures don’t put enough pressure on your jawbone like your natural teeth, which leads your body to remove bone material, putting you at risk for a jawbone fracture.
2. Need for frequent replacement
Cheap dentures are often poorly-fitting but this fit will worsen over time as your body removes jawbone material. For some patients, economy dentures have to be replaced every 2-3 years compared to the 7-10 year lifespan of quality dentures. This leads to higher denture costs in the long run.
In addition, cheap dentures are also made from less durable material, making them more likely to break.

3. Loss of quality of life
Many denturists recommend against cheap dentures as they can have a significant negative impact on the quality of your life. This includes:

4. Malnutrition
Because cheap dentures don’t fit or function very well, they restrict the types of foods that you can eat. You may not be able to eat healthy fresh fruits and vegetables as well as quality meats such as steak, chicken and pork.
This poor nutrition can make you more susceptible to disease such as skin problems, osteoporosis and frequent bruising.
