Adding a Tooth to an Existing Denture: Assessment
- Adding a tooth is not possible with every denture.
- Modification and making a new denture are compared.
- There is no separate confirmed amount for such a modification in the price list.
You have lost another tooth and already have a denture. Can a tooth be added to the existing denture? Sometimes yes, sometimes no — the prosthodontist assesses this. We explain what to prepare.
What restoration you already have
The type of denture, material, age and condition. Whether it can be extended depends on these.
What has changed in the dental arch
Describe which tooth has been lost, where it is and whether it affected the retention of the denture.
What limitations the prosthodontist considers
The denture material, its condition, the attachment, the condition of neighbouring teeth, the bite. The availability of a specific procedure is confirmed by the clinic.
When modification and a new denture are compared
If the denture is old or worn, making a new one may be more appropriate. The dentist will compare the options. There is no separate amount for adding a tooth in the 2026–2027 price list, so the cost is discussed after the examination, without equating it to an ordinary repair.
Data for assessing a modification
- Photo of the denture
- Type and material
- Age and condition of the denture
