Fixed denture refers to porcelain teeth which are firmly cemented on the place of missing teeth, differing from a removable one which can be taken off at will. It enjoys a rather good performance in both aesthetics and mastication. However, the procedure requires to abrade a layer of enamel of the adjacent teeth in order to hold a bride in place, serving as its biggest drawback. Besides, people may concern about its prices as well, I suppose. 

    According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, the fee of a porcelain tooth has link with numerous factors, majorly its material. Roughly it costs several thousand yuan. But you can’t get the exact fee until you take a thorough exam and choose the material you prefer. Consult with your dentist and pick a right one for your personal case. 

    Nowadays, the most prevalent materials available include porcelain fuse to cobalt-chromium alloy, porcelain fused to titanium and full-porcelain.

    For restoring molars, the porcelain fused to metal material can be chosen. A cobalt-chromium alloy one costs about one to two thousand yuan, boasting a high cost performance. While the titanium one would be a bit more expensive. Since Titanium is a kind of non-magnetic metal, it won’t cast any impact on MRI.  

    When it comes to fixing anterior teeth, full-porcelain material would be recommended in order to achieve a good dental appearance. Additionally, it enjoys a good optical transparency due to no mixture with metal, similar to a natural tooth. Certainly it will be pricier, costing three to four thousand yuan per tooth. 

    The aforementioned price is only for the material, excluding the fee of treatment. If you’ve got dental caries or periodontitis, you have to seek proper treatment upfront, which is set to cost extra. An thorough check-up is required to know the severity of your tooth defects. Then your dentist is supposed to offer you a customized treatment plan, including the exact fee.
