Denture with Braces in Al Barsha, Dubai

Denture with braces prices

Prices are estimates. Your dentist confirms the final price after examining your teeth. Instalments with Tabby or Tamara are subject to their approval.

What a denture with braces is, and what it is not

It starts as a normal removable denture that replaces your missing teeth. Small brackets, and sometimes a thin wire or coloured bands, are then fixed onto the denture's artificial teeth. Many patients ask for this style because they like the look of braces.

It is important to know that the brackets are attached to the denture, not to your own teeth. A denture with braces does not straighten or move your natural teeth. If you want to straighten your own teeth, ask about braces or clear aligners instead.

How much does a denture with braces cost?

A denture with braces starts from AED 249. The final price depends on how many teeth the denture replaces, whether it is a partial or full denture, and how many brackets you would like. Any extractions or fillings needed before the denture is made are priced separately. You can pay in instalments with Tabby or Tamara, subject to their approval.

Making your denture with braces, step by step

1. Free consultationThe dentist examines your mouth, checks your gums and remaining teeth, and talks you through the options.
2. Getting your mouth readyAny extractions or fillings that are needed are done first.
3. Impressions and biteMoulds of your mouth and a record of your bite are taken, and you choose the tooth shade and bracket colours.
4. Try-inYou try a wax version to check the fit and the look before the final denture is made.
5. FittingYour denture with braces is fitted and adjusted so it sits comfortably.

Repairs and adding braces to an existing denture

If a bracket comes off your denture, bring it in and the dentist will re-attach or replace it. If you already have a denture and would like brackets added, the dentist first checks that the denture fits well and is in good condition, because a loose or worn denture should be fixed or relined first. See dentures and denture repair.

Risks and side effects

• It takes a few weeks to get used to speaking and eating with any new denture.
• Brackets on a denture can trap food and plaque, so it needs careful daily cleaning.
• Brackets can come loose from the denture, particularly with hard or sticky food.
• Sore spots on the gums are common at first and are fixed with small adjustments.
• It does not move or straighten your natural teeth.

Your dentist explains the risks for your own case before you decide.

Aftercare

• Take the denture out at night unless the dentist advises otherwise.
• Clean it every day with a soft brush, paying attention to the area around each bracket.
• Avoid biting hard or sticky food with the bracketed teeth.
• Bring it in if a bracket comes off or the denture rubs. Do not glue brackets back on yourself.
