Why are Dentures Cheap Abroad?

A patient from the USA will find Dentures abroad at a low-cost rate in countries like Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, India, Vietnam, and Thailand. The price is low because of many reasons.

First of all, the cost of running a dental practice in these countries is meager as compared to that in the USA or Canada or Australia.

Moreover, the dentists here are not under any student loan, which is reflected in the patient services.[1]

Types of Dentures Abroad

Dentures are broadly classified in two types

  • Complete Dentures: Patient chooses complete dentures when there are no teeth left in their mouth (edentulous patients).
  • Partial Dentures: This type of denture is handy when there are still some teeth left in the mouth. Moreover, the patient opts to keep the teeth as such.

1. Complete Dentures

Sometimes, especially in old-aged patients, all the teeth fall out (Edentulous patients). In that case, it becomes mandatory to have a complete set of dentures (both upper and lower).

Complete dentures are of three types

a. Fixed Complete Dentures
b. Complete Removable Dentures
c. Snap-On Dentures

The type depends on the budget, aesthetic requirement, and the jaw-bone structure of the patient.

c. Snap-on Dentures Abroad

Unlike removable dentures, snap-on dentures are anchored over mini-implants. Due to this reason, they are also known as "mini implant-retained dentures".

2. Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are recommended when some teeth are still left in the mouth. Along with filling the gap, it also prevents further tooth decay.

There are two types of partial dentures, namely,

  • Fixed partial dentures or dental bridge
  • Removable partial dentures (RPD)

a. Fixed Dental Bridge

A fixed partial denture or a dental bridge is a restorative set of artificial teeth that are used to replace one or more missing teeth.

Dental Bridge Cost Abroad

The bridge is used where the patient has a healthy bone structure on both sides of the gap. It has 2 parts

  1. Pontic: Tooth-like structure that replaces the missing teeth
  2. Crown: A cap that covers adjacent teeth
  3. Abutment: The neighboring teeth that are reduced in size to support crown

Benefits of Dental Bridges

  • Maintains the natural shape of the face
  • Reduces stress on adjacent teeth
  • Prevents mal-alignment of neighboring teeth
  • Promotes natural-looking smile
  • Prevents teeth on the opposite arch from over-erupting

b. Removable Partial Dentures

A removable partial denture (RPD) is made of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base.

This base is connected by a metal framework that holds the denture in place.

As the remaining teeth help in holding the denture in place, they have better stability.

Material used for RPD

There are different types of RPDs depending on the material used, they are:

  • Cast metal RPD- Made of a metal framework with retainers and teeth.
  • Acrylic RPD-  Temporary framework with wire clasps.
