Though missing molars leaves no unpleasant result in appearance, it’s indeed harmful to masticatory efficiency, in that molars take the major responsibility for mastication. A low efficiency in mastication threatens to cause poorer nutrition absorption and thus further impact the functioning of intestine and stomach. That’s why it’s necessary to address missing molars in a timely manner. 

    The first question that most people concern much would be its cost, I suppose. 

    According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, the cost of restoring missing molars varies, depending on the number of teeth you’ve lost and what kind of restoration you choose. In general, there are three ways to restore tooth loss, including removable denture, fixed denture (also known as porcelain tooth) and dental implant. 

    As for removable denture, its cost remains related to materials as well as the number of teeth loss. Now its common used materials majorly include metal, plastic and precious metal. There is no denying that, the more teeth you lose, the more it will cost. A replacement of a single tooth can cost as low as several hundred, while a complete denture may need about CN￥9000. 

    If you seek fixed denture for a missing molar, the final cost will amount to the cost of three teeth, because abrasion of the two adjacent teeth is needed to anchor a dental bridge. Certainly, there is also different kinds of material available, leading to different cost accordingly. 

    When it comes to dental implant, it’s dubbed as the third set of teeth for human beings, the best solution and also the most expensive one among the three. On average, it takes more than CN￥10000 to conduct one dental implant. No matter how many teeth you have lost, dental implant can be sought. Undoubtedly the number of dental implant you need determines the final cost.  

    To be noted, the cost mentioned above is only for reference. The final cost subjects to change, majorly resulting from regional development, hospital ranking and personal dental condition. Actually a thorough checkup will be taken first, enabling your dentist to development a customized treatment plan for you, the total cost included.
