milkeybar kid Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Could someone comment please- is this a good price. We have found a man that makes false teeth from exact copies of your own rather than as they had done in UK - dentist first then impressions then wait and wait. He fixed a brake on a false tooth perfectly, so seeing all these teeth scattered about we then asked does he do copies - "of course" errr I think that was the reply and took out a charge sheet so for a full top set it would be €460.00 is that a good price?

Ron Avery Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Whether or not its a good price, and I don't think its that cheap personally why not not have it done through a dentist?Is this bloke qualified to make the always necessary small adjustments to them? With a dentist at least you have the comfort of knowing that you can get them fitted properly and can return if you have problems. With a dentist you can also get some money from CPAM towards the costs as long as its not seen as cosmetic.By the way I replied to your E mail about tax threads, did you get it ?

Russethouse Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I agree with Ron, gums change over the years and although your present dentures may feel fine, new dentures properly fitted may feel even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Driver Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 The standard tariff for a prothese dentaire (14 teeth) supplied by a chirurgien-dentiste or médecin stomatologiste is 182,50€ of which your CPAM will cover 127,75€ (70%).If you have 100% dental cover on your mutuelle, then they will pay 54,75 towards the dentist's bill. If you have 150% dental cover, then they will pay 146€. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkeybar kid Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thank you for reply. We only have hospitalisation top up. Ooerrr your quotes make him sound expensive. Nice surprise to think we get back the 70% from CPAM if dentist is affiliated will check that he is affiliated as well. What with income tax and teeth I am stressed!!

Slippery Sam Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 It is a well recognised technique to duplicate full dentures but it is not always advisable for many reasons. Whilst I am sure the tech. might be able to take just as good impressions as the dentist etc, would he know if that ulcer you have had for some time is caused by your denture or something much more sinister? I personally wouldn't bypass the dentist and the prices mentioned in the last few posts seem very cheap anyway. That middle man might just save your life in a worst case scenario.
