What makes one denture cost more than another?
The main factors are whether you need a full or partial denture, how many arches it covers, the materials, and how the denture is made. A premium set with layered teeth costs more than a standard one, and a milled digital denture costs more than a 3D-printed one.
The other factor is the work behind it: how many visits are involved, and whether the person you see is the person who makes your denture, A price that looks lower can leave out visits or adjustments that are included in another clinic's price, so compare what is included, not only the number.
