Dr. Vidya Suri is aware of the toll financial anxiety can take on her patients’ psyches and health. To help ease the fear over the dental bill, Frisco Elm Dental in Little Elm, TX, accepts many different types of insurances. As a major yet “medically necessary” treatment, dentures are often partially covered by most dental policies. For assistance with out-of-pocket expenses (or if you don’t have dental insurance), we also offer financing through CareCredit, as well as our in-house Dental Savers Plan. Notably, you can sleep easier knowing that the complete dentures designed and planned by Dr. Suri will be well worth the cost; they last a long time with appropriate care. We provide guidance on oral care products and techniques to keep dentures clean and in great shape. During your regular appointments at our office, we will also examine your dentures. When we detect problems early, often simple adjustments can be made that cost you less money and time than more significant repairs or “overhauls.”
Dr. Suri takes great pride in her exacting approach to fitting dentures. Our patients’ satisfaction with dentures depends on how they fit. Ill-fitting dentures slip around. Loose dental appliances make eating difficult and can cause embarrassing social slip-ups. They also irritate the insides of your mouth. The complications caused by dentures that don’t fit you precisely can add to the total cost of treatment and the time spent resolving those problems. So, we want you to be thrilled with your dentures from the get-go! You should never have to think about them when they are in your mouth.
Additionally, our office does not cut corners when it comes to quality. Dentures are generally made from materials such as ceramics, acrylic resin, and metal. These materials are perfectly color-matched to your personal characteristics. The replacement teeth and artificial gum tissue, in turn, do not look fake. They look like your natural tissues. Our dentist also selects materials that are durable. You can enjoy eating your favorite foods, and you can smile confidently, without worry that your dentures will chip or crack.
Over time, the supportive facial bone resorbs or shrinks. This natural process can alter the fit of dentures, which makes it important for us to see you routinely for evaluation. We can also discuss alternative options to conventional complete dentures. Implant-supported dentures help to keep the bone in the jaw strong. These dentures are designed like natural teeth, with the implant functioning as a tooth root to hold the denture in place. As with conventional denture systems, a portion of the cost of the implant-retained denture may be covered by your insurance plan.
All patients deserve a healthy, attractive smile, regardless of financial circumstances. Contact us today to discuss your best options for tooth replacement and smile restoration.
