Handling Denture Patient Phone Calls: A Guide for Dental Practices

Denture patients are a significant revenue stream for dental practices. A full set of conventional dentures runs $2,000-5,000. Implant-supported dentures can reach $20,000+. And denture patients need ongoing care — relines, repairs, adjustments, and eventually replacements. But denture patients also tend to be older, have more questions, and need more patience on the phone. The practices that handle these calls well build a loyal, high-revenue patient base.

Common Denture Patient Call Scenarios

• First-time denture consultation: Nervous, lots of questions about process and comfort
• Denture repair: Cracked or broken denture needing same-day or next-day repair
• Reline request: Loose-fitting dentures needing adjustment
• Implant-supported option inquiry: Interested in upgrading from conventional dentures
• Insurance question: Does Medicare cover dentures? (Usually limited)
• Emergency: Lost denture, complete fracture, sore spots causing inability to eat
