Although this treatment is subsidised in the UK, patients are now looking abroad for more affordable alternatives, with dentists in Spain offering two key advantages over their British counterparts:

You’ll be able to see a dentist on short notice, unlike in the UK where waiting times are at an all-time high.

Treatment is much faster, with clinics able to manufacture the custom-made denture(s) while you enjoy your holiday.

Types of Dentures in Valencia

The denture can either be:

• A replacement for all your teeth in the upper, lower or both jaws (full dentures)
• A replacement for one of several missing teeth (partial dentures)

Partial dentures fill in the gaps where a patient has one or more missing teeth, with the device able to clip onto the natural teeth with metal clasps. Find out more about how full or partial dentures differ.

Other types of dentures include:

• Snap-in denture
• Implant-supported denture
• Overdenture
• Temporary or “healing” denture

How Long Will I Need to Stay in Valencia for My New Dentures?

Clinics with in-house CAD/CAM technology should be able to manufacture the denture quickly, with a total of only two or three appointments required to complete treatment.

After an initial consultation in Valencia, dentists will create impressions of your mouth that are used as part of the denture fabrication process.

This will normally be ready a few days later, and so you should plan to stay in Valencia for approximately one week.

Note: If a patient requires extractions, a “healing” or immediate” denture may be fitted, thus allowing the gums time to heal. The final heavier denture will be fitted at a later date once the gums have fully healed.

On average, a full acrylic denture costs approximately EUR €700 (GBP £600) in Valencia.

Partial dentures in Valencia cost a little less, at approximately EUR 400-500 (GBP 340-430)
