How much do removable flexible plastic dentures cost? Price list at Dental Fam

Price List for Removable Plastic Dentures at Dental Fam

A set of removable plastic dentures includes a base cost of 2,000,000 VND, plus the price of each denture tooth ranging from 500,000 VND to 1,500,000 VND. To help you visualize, this section covers three things: the price of the base, the price of each type of tooth, and how they are added together to arrive at the total cost.

Price of the Removable Plastic Denture Base

The base cost is 2,000,000 VND per denture, regardless of whether you need a few or many teeth.

The base is the foundation that rests on the gums. The denture teeth are attached to it, and it is thanks to the base that the entire denture adheres to the mouth. Without the base, the denture teeth have no place to stand, so every removable denture must have a base first before considering each tooth. Because the base is calculated per denture, even if you only lose one tooth, you still need a complete base, and the price of the base remains the same.

Prices vary by type of denture

Dentures are priced per piece: Japanese dentures 500,000 VND, American dentures 800,000 VND, and composite dentures (synthetic resin material) 1,500,000 VND. These three types differ in durability, aesthetics, and warranty period:

Type of tooth	Price per tooth	Durability and aesthetics	Suitable for	Full arch warranty
Japanese teeth	500,000 VND	Average to good durability, good aesthetics, basic chewing function	Cost-saving priority	6 months
American Teeth	800,000 VND	Good durability, good aesthetics, stronger and more stable chewing	For those who want a balance between cost, durability and aesthetics	1 year
Composite Teeth	1,500,000 VND	Very high durability, high aesthetics, color similar to real teeth, good shape retention	For those who prioritize durability and aesthetics	3 years

There is a point of misunderstanding in the last column: warranty period is not the lifespan This refers to the period during which the clinic is responsible for free repair of technical defects. After that period, the dentures don't spontaneously break or become unusable; it's just that any subsequent technical defects will no longer be repaired free of charge. Actual durability depends on how you use and maintain them, as plastic dentures can wear down, discolor, or break with prolonged use.

Understanding this makes the trade-offs clearer: Japanese dentures are cheaper but have a shorter warranty period, while composite dentures are more expensive but come with a 3-year warranty. The doctor stated that American dentures are the most popular choice, although it's difficult to get an exact figure because the number of people using removable dentures is not as high as before.

Example of Total Cost Calculation

Total cost equals 2,000,000 VND for the base material plus the price of the tooth multiplied by the number of teeth. The table below compares two cases, missing 1 tooth and missing 3 teeth, on the same flexible resin base:

Number of Teeth Needed	Japanese Teeth	American Teeth	Composite Teeth
1 tooth	2,500,000 VND	2,800,000 VND	3,500,000 VND
3 teeth	3,500,000 VND	4,400,000 VND	6,500,000 VND

Look at the Japanese dental column: losing 1 tooth costs 2,500,000 VND, of which the cost of the base is 80%. Losing 3 teeth costs 3,500,000 VND, meaning adding 2 more teeth only adds 1,000,000 VND. The first tooth is always the most ""expensive"" because it has to bear the entire base.

For single molars, Dental Fam usually does not make removable dentures. The reason is that dentures are less stable and only fill the gaps left by missing teeth, not replace the chewing function, easily leading users to mistakenly believe they can chew normally again.

So what does this price include, and what could cause your figure to differ from the table above?

What is included in the price and what causes the cost to change?

The price for dentures is an all-inclusive price for the denture itself. Your final cost varies depending on the number of teeth, type of teeth, number of dentures, and oral health condition. This section has two branches: items included in the price and factors that cause the cost to change.

Items included in the price

The price for flexible plastic dentures is an all-inclusive cost, with no hidden fees or additional charges, including follow-up appointments for adjustments.

New dentures usually require several adjustments to fit the soft tissues in the mouth, and these adjustments are completely free. The warranty is also included in the price, with the following coverage:

The warranty applies to the entire set of dentures, not just the individual teeth.
The warranty period is 6 months, 1 year, or 3 years depending on the type of dentures you choose.
Only technical issues are covered under warranty. Damage caused by personal actions such as accidents, dropping, or being stepped on is not covered.

Please note that the ""package deal"" here refers to the entire denture process. If you require prior dental treatment, that cost will be charged separately; you can find answers in the FAQ section.

Factors that may affect the cost

The cost of dentures varies depending on three factors: the number of teeth, the type of teeth, and the number of dentures needed.

The cost is calculated per denture, so if you need dentures for both upper and lower arches, there will be two separate costs. Additionally, there's an initial consultation fee of 100,000 VND per visit, which is waived if you decide to get the dentures immediately after the consultation.

Now that you know the price, you might be curious about what kind of base material the flexible resin dentures actually have.

What are Removable Flexible Resin Dentures?

Removable resin dentures are dentures with a base made of soft resin, and they don't use metal clasps. You can remove and reinsert them yourself as needed, unlike porcelain crowns or implants (posts implanted into the jawbone) which are fixed in the mouth.

You'll see many places refer to them generally as ""removable resin dentures"" or ""removable plastic teeth,"" because these dentures all have a resin base. This article will only discuss the flexible resin base type.

So, what types of tooth loss are suitable for this type of base?

Who is suitable for flexible resin?

Flexible resin is suitable for people who have lost a few teeth and prioritize aesthetics. If you have lost all the teeth in an entire jaw, you need to choose a different type of base. This section is divided into two branches: suitable cases and cases where a different type should be chosen.

Suitable cases

You should consider flexible resin if you have only lost a few teeth and want a natural-looking smile.

The reason lies in the clasps. Hard resin or reinforced resin bases can use metal clasps to hold the dentures in place, while flexible resin bases do not. Therefore, when you smile or talk, the jaw is less noticeable, and that's why dentists recommend flexible resin for those with high aesthetic demands.

Cases where a different type should be chosen

If you have lost all the teeth in an entire jaw, Dental Fam will recommend hard resin or reinforced resin instead of flexible resin.

Why is that? For full dentures, dentists prioritize a strong and durable foundation, and high-strength resin is the right choice due to its higher load-bearing capacity compared to regular resin. Meanwhile, flexible resin is strong in aesthetics but less stable, and if damaged, it's almost impossible to repair.

Since a full set of dentures requires a complete replacement if damage is irreparable, flexible resin isn't a sensible choice. For a simpler, more economical option, rigid resin is also a recommendation.

Within the appropriate scope, are flexible resin dentures a good option? Let's look at both the advantages and disadvantages.

Are Flexible Resin Dentures Good? Advantages and Limitations You Need to Know

Flexible resin is good in terms of aesthetics and convenience, but it's almost impossible to repair and less stable than a framework denture. This section has two branches: strengths and limitations.

Advantages

The outstanding advantage of flexible plastic dentures is their aesthetics, in addition to the general benefits of removable dentures:

Higher Aesthetics: Because there are no metal clasps, the dentures are less visible when smiling or talking. This is where fixed dentures, which are more stable, suffer the most.
Lower Cost Than Fixed Dentures: Compared to dental bridges or implants, removable dentures are much more affordable.
No Surgery Required: The dentures do not require grinding down natural teeth or invasive procedures on the jawbone, making them suitable for older adults or those with weak health.
Self-Removal for Cleaning: You can proactively remove the dentures for cleaning or to sleep, without being dependent on appointments.

Limitations

The biggest limitation of flexible resin dentures is that they are almost impossible to repair when damaged, and you should be aware of this before choosing one:

Almost impossible to repair: The flexible resin base is very difficult to patch. If the denture cracks or breaks severely, a new denture is usually required, unlike rigid or reinforced resin bases which can be patched and repaired.
Cannot add metal clasps: The base does not have clasps, so you cannot add metal clasps as with rigid or reinforced resin bases.
Less stability than fixed dentures: When some teeth are missing, but the remaining teeth are strong and require high stability, dentists prefer removable frame dentures because they are more stable and durable, and less likely to cause discomfort or pain. However, frame dentures are less aesthetically pleasing than flexible resin dentures.
Chewing is not as good as fixed dentures: Like all removable dentures, the denture can become loose or shift during chewing, especially in the lower jaw because the lower jaw has less grip than the upper jaw. * Time to get used to: You may feel awkward or unfamiliar with speaking in the first few days.

If the flexible resin suits you, the next step is to find out what appointments you will need.

Procedure for Making Flexible Resin Dentures

If everything goes smoothly, the dentures will be completed in about 3 appointments per week, although the number of appointments may vary depending on the extent of tooth loss and the type of denture. The steps are as follows:

Examination and consultation: The dentist assesses the condition of your teeth, gums, and jawbone, then helps you choose the appropriate type of denture.
Necessary oral treatment: Treatment for cavities, gingivitis, periodontal disease, or extraction of non-salvage teeth, if any. This is charged separately from the denture price.
Session 1 (30 to 45 minutes): Taking initial impressions. 4. Session 2 (approximately 30 minutes): Try on the dentures to check their position, bite, and aesthetics, and take the final impressions.
Session 3 (approximately 30 minutes): Receive the dentures after the lab completes them. The dentist will fit and check the fit and bite, then instruct you on how to remove, reinsert, and clean them.
Adjustments after receiving the dentures: New dentures usually require several adjustments to fit the soft tissues, and these adjustments are free.

Flexible Resin vs. Other Materials

Flexible resin is one of four base materials at Dental Fam, and no single material is best for everyone. Removable dentures are custom-made for each individual, so the dentist will choose the base material based on your oral condition.

Type of base	Price per arch	Often prescribed when
Hard resin	Free	Missing many teeth or the entire arch, needing a simple, economical solution
High-strength resin	1,000,000 VND	Requires a higher strength resin base, usually used for complete arch loss
Flexible resin	2,000,000 VND	Minor tooth loss, aesthetic need, minimal visible clasps
Titanium frame	2,500,000 VND	Partial tooth loss, remaining supporting teeth, high stability needed, thin and lightweight base

## **Frequently Asked Questions about Flexible Resin Denture Prices**

If tooth extraction, cavity treatment, or gingivitis treatment is required before denture fabrication, are these costs included in the package price?

No, these costs are calculated separately according to the current price list. The 2,000,000 VND base fee and the price per tooth above only apply to the denture fabrication. When you come for your appointment, the doctor will take X-rays or CT scans to assess your condition and then provide a price quote for each additional item beyond the cost of the dentures, so you have a clear understanding of the total actual cost.

What is the total cost if both upper and lower jaws need dentures?

Each jaw is priced separately, plus the cost of each tooth, and the price of the base is the same regardless of whether it's the upper or lower jaw. For example, if you lose 3 teeth in your upper jaw and 3 teeth in your lower jaw, choose American teeth:

Item	Calculation	Total
Flexible plastic base for 2 jaws	2 x 2,000,000 VND	4,000,000 VND
American Teeth	6 x 800,000 VND	4,800,000 VND
Total	8,800,000 VND

This number is exactly twice the example of 3 teeth in one jaw (4,400,000 VND), because both the base and the number of teeth are doubled.

Does the 100,000 VND consultation fee apply to each follow-up visit?

No, the 100,000 VND fee only applies to the initial consultation and is waived if you have the dentures made immediately. Follow-up visits related to the dentures are free. In fact, dentures don't require regular follow-up visits: you can monitor them at home and visit the clinic when you have any problems that need the doctor's attention.

Does Dental Fam offer installment payments?

Currently, Dental Fam does not offer installment payments or multiple payment plans for removable dentures made of flexible resin.

Does flexible resin cause irritation or allergies?

The flexible resin used in removable dentures is very safe and rarely causes irritation or allergies, even for people with sensitive constitutions. If you have ever had a reaction to any dental material, please share this with your dentist during the consultation so that we can consider it more carefully.

Should I choose removable or fixed dentures?

Fixed dentures are always the preferred option. Porcelain bridges or implants offer high stability and allow for eating almost like with natural teeth, while removable dentures are a last resort, considered only when budget constraints or bone and adjacent tooth conditions do not allow for fixed dentures.

Regarding costs, fixed prosthetics start from 4,000,000 VND per porcelain crown and go up to 18,000,000 VND per Dentium implant.

Do I need to buy adhesive for removable dentures?

Usually, no, as the denture will naturally adhere to the gums. Adhesive is only used for support if there is significant bone loss. Dental Fam does not recommend any specific type of adhesive; you can research and purchase it yourself.

How to properly clean removable dentures?

Remove the dentures after each meal and always remove them before going to sleep. Do not use toothpaste to clean the dentures, as the material is completely different from real teeth and gums. Instead, you can use a biological cleaning agent, or a vibrating device with cleaning tablets specifically designed for removable dentures.

If you still have concerns about your specific case, the next step is simply to ask your dentist directly.
