Has your denture or partial recently broken? You may be wondering what a denture repair may cost. According to a study conducted by Fixodent, the average denture repair costs between $100 and $500, depending on the damage and how many times the dental prosthetic has broken before.

How much does it cost for a denture repair? It is not uncommon for dental prosthetics that have broken before to break again. Dentures that have broken in the past are weaker. This is because the initial bonds of the denture’s acrylic have been broken and you are now creating secondary bond. These secondary bonds, or repairs, are not as strong and durable as the initial bonds. Over time the cost of denture repairs may add up and it may be in your best interest to consider getting a new denture. Your dentist will be able to advise you best on your unique scenario.

How do I know if my denture repair price is fair? Denture repair fees are based on may factors, so chances are your denture repair estimate is accurate. The first factor in denture repair pricing is the number of times a dental prosthetic has been broken previously, if you must reinforce the damaged region, your repair fee may be higher. Other factors could be the region you live in, whether your dental office has an in-office dental laboratory, the quantity of repairs that need to be made, the dentist and laboratory technician experience, whether your dentist is in network with contracted fees, and the type of dental prosthetic. Cheaper isn’t always better. You want a high-quality repair that will last as long as possible.
