Beautiful third teeth – possibilities and costs

Beautiful third teeth are no longer rocket science. Most people associate dental prosthesis with insecurity when talking and eating, although dental technology today offers very good solutions. The modern possibilities of maxillofacial surgery with implants go much further. However, the health insurance only provides regular care, which means that you have to be able to afford beautiful teeth. Regular preventive care and dental care help to preserve the tooth substance for a long time, and a well-managed bonus book and private dental supplement insurance can curb the additional costs.

What options are there for radiantly beautiful teeth in old age?

Especially with seniors, the trend towards “third parties” is moving towards implants, because they give security and a natural look. This is also ensured by the numerous options for ceramic dentures. Healthy gums are important for dentures, because inflammation or illness can mean the loss of further teeth or implants.

Fixed prosthesis: advantages, disadvantages and costs

A fixed prosthesis is a dental bridge in which the real teeth serve as pillars. A dental bridge is attached to at least two pillars and the dentist then builds the dental crowns on this bridge. With the so-called implant bridge, there are no more natural teeth, so implants are used as pillars. However, this requires a healthy jawbone. A composite form of real teeth and implants is called a composite bridge.

Advantages of a fixed prosthesis:
+Tight fit
+Comfort, even when eating
+Very good looks, hardly noticeable
+Health insurance pays dental bridge on real teeth in the tooth front with metal material and tooth-colored cover

Disadvantages of a fixed prosthesis:
– Loss of natural tooth substance through processing of real teeth (for dental bridges and composite bridges)
– Implants are very expensive and are not subsidized by the health insurance (check private dental insurance)

Fixed prosthesis costs:

  • Dental bridge with a missing tooth: the costs here depend on the material. A good source here is the MediKompass (MediKompass.de).

– Ceramic bridge 800 to 1,600 euros
– Precious metal alloy without facing 1,300 to 2,600 euros
– Non-precious metal (NEM) without facing 600 to 1,300 euros

– Ceramics 2,550 to 5,500 euros
– Precious metal alloy without facing 1,350 to 2,900 euros
– Non-precious metal (NEM) without facing 2,400 to 5,200 euros

– Ceramic 850 to 1,800 euros
– Precious metal alloy without veneer 3,050 to 6,300 euros
– Non-precious metal (non-precious metal) without facing 650 to 1,500 euros

Removable full denture: advantages, disadvantages and costs

With removable dentures, a distinction is made between partial dentures, full dentures and full dentures. The full denture made of plastic is only used when all teeth of a jaw have to be replaced. Color and shape can be individually adjusted. These third parties keep up with saliva and suction, but this is not always enough for speaking and eating.

Advantages of a removable full denture

+ Assumption of costs by the health insurance company
+ Relatively quick and easy supply

Disadvantages of a removable full denture:

– Bad fit
– Changed mouthfeel

Removable full denture costs: 500 to 850 euros

Removable partial dentures: advantages, disadvantages and costs

Partial and full dentures are attached to the remaining teeth with clips. Such staple prostheses are funded by the health insurance with a fixed grant. Since the brackets are partially visible, patients often prefer to use an implant or a hybrid prosthesis. The fit is better than with a full denture, but not as good as with a dental bridge.

Advantages of a removable partial denture

+ Assumption of costs by the health insurance company
+ Minimal processing of the remaining teeth
+ Relatively quick and easy supply
+ longevity

Disadvantages of a removable partial denture:

– Possible problems with the fit and visibility of the bracket

Removable partial denture costs: 500 to 6,000 euros

hybr >The hybrid prosthesis is a kind of mixed solution because it is removable, but gives the secure feeling of a fixed prosthesis. This means that it is attached to individual remaining teeth or implants. However, the health insurance company only pays the amount that would arise with a corresponding standard care (such as a partial prosthesis). The patient must pay the remaining amount himself.

Advantages of a hybrid prosthesis

– Good middle ground between advantages of the dental bridge and disadvantages of partial denture
– Good fit

Disadvantages of a hybrid prosthesis:

– Patient bears most of the costs themselves (check private dental insurance)

Hybrid prosthesis costs: approx.3,800 euros.

What are the requirements for a successful course of treatment??

The state of the dentition and jawbone determines how the treatment will proceed, because if an implant is not properly held in the jaw, the third party slips or pain. If the jawbone is not strong enough, it must be strengthened with a bone structure. There are various methods for obtaining the necessary bone substance:

– Augmentation: Use of bone from the lower jaw, pelvis or skull
– Bone meal: extraction during implantation
– Bone spread: New formation of bone substance by spreading
– Sinus lift: surgical lifting of the maxillary sinus

How does the denture in the upper and lower jaw hold up best??

Full dentures and partially removable partial dentures adhere due to saliva and suction. If saliva production is restricted by age or illness, the dentist can usually remedy the situation by relining. In addition, implants after healing (up to six months) significantly improve the hold of third parties.

Caring for dentures correctly

Removable dentures should be rinsed under running water after eating and cleaned once a day with a denture toothbrush. Adhesive cream must be removed thoroughly every day, otherwise bacteria, fungi or germs can cause inflammation and infections. Implants cannot be affected by caries, but the gums require special care, since inflammation can result in loss of the implant. Oral care remains important forever.
