Is 5000.00 too much for dentures?

My wife went today to the dentist about getting dentures.her teeth are all very bad.Only 2 of her teeth are going to be surgical extractions,the rest are simple extractions.Our insurance will only pay 1000.00.They say it is going to cost us 5000.00.Is this about right??? I thought maybe 500-600 dollars max.Are they trying to rip us off???

Is 5000.00 too much for dentures?
I am going through the same experience with dentures.


Our insurance covers 2000, and we have already used that up with... a cleaning and a filling and 6 extractions.


I need to go to a oral surgeon for the last 13 extractions. Our bill we be around 7000. 2 friends of mine went to affordable dentures and had there impressions and dentures made the same day!!! ANd there bill was about 700. They went to a dental clinic the day before for the extractions. The dentures i am getting cost 3000... not counting all the extras the dentist charges!!! He cleaned my teeth...then pulled them. Made no sense to me, but made him dollars!!!!!!


Check your area and see if you have a Affordable Dentures there. My friends looks great!!!!! And still have cash in there pockets!!! Good luck..
Reply:It depends a lot on the part of the country you live in for dental prices. But I do believe a $500 set of dentures would be of terrible quality. You could also shop around at other dentists and see what they say.
Reply:Actually that sounds about right........I know everything in dentistry is expensive. However, it would be far more expensive to save the teeth. =)
Reply:Tha tis about 10 times what you would pay if you visited a good dentist in Mexcio, which is exactly what i did and saved my self over 90% on US prices
