Dental costs

I can't find any costs on Google re full denture costs in NSW. Maybe all of the dentists seem very coy about their costs. Does anyone have any idea of cost please.

Thanks foxette. When I enquired about this scheme I was told that it had been discontinued. My OH needs a complete set. Like Richo he is starting to need his roasts pureed. LOL. BTW you are much better with Google than I am, I couldn't find that info. Thanks.

I agree, A dentist will send your work to a dental technician, and then add on his cost.

I recently paid $1600 for full set. He did an excellent job at most likely near enough to half what the dentist would have charged me.

jean2579 you should be able to get it done at the local public dental clinic (normally located at the public hospital in your area.) I will get mine done for free at mt druitt hospital due to holding a pensioner card.
