- A mid-range denture typically costs $500-$1,500 per plate or $1,000-$3,000 for a set. These offer a fairly personalized fit and usually come with a 1- or 2-year warranty.
- Premium dentures can cost $2,000-$4,000 per plate, or $4,000-$8,000 or more for a set. Dentures in this price range are a personalized fit, use high-end materials to simulate the look of gums and teeth as closely as possible, last a long time and are warranted against chipping and cracking for 5-10 years or longer. Often the price includes several follow-up visits to fine-tune the fit.
- Removable partial dentures start at $300 -$500, average around $700-$1,800,and can cost $2,000-$4,000 or more in gold (instead of acrylic or another metal). Partial dentures use a metal framework to hold artificial teeth in place, and can be attached to natural teeth with metal clasps or with precision attachments that are nearly invisible but require crowns on the real teeth.
- It is often necessary to pull any remaining damaged teeth before getting dentures. Tooth extraction typically costs $75-$450 per tooth for a simple extraction and $150-$650 or more per tooth for a surgical extraction. Depending on the number of teeth to be pulled, the total cost of getting dentures can be $1,500-$20,000 or more for a full set (uppers and lowers). CostHelper readers report paying $2,000-$18,000 for a full set of removable dentures including tooth extractions and other preparation work, at an average cost of $9,063.
- Two to six dental implants that support a removable denture plate can cost $3,500-$30,000 or more depending on the number and type of implants (mini-implants are less expensive), denture materials (in some cases an existing denture plate can be adapted for use with implants) and any other procedures needed. A full set (upper and lower) of implants and dentures can cost $7,000-$90,000 or more.
What should be included:
- Dentures are available from a dentist or a prosthodontist (with specialized training in dentures), and prosthodontists typically charge more than dentists. The American Dental Association provides an overview of dentures[1] .
- Conventional dentures are installed after the last teeth are removed, to allow for healing (typically six to eight weeks). There are typically separate appointments for impressions and measurements; checking a "try-in" model for fit; inserting and adjusting the final denture; and follow-up appointments to check comfort and function. Immediate (same-day) dentures are made in advance and inserted when the teeth are pulled. The University of Iowa provides an overview of immediate dentures[2] and a California dentist has a immediate denture video[3] .
- An implant-supported denture often provides a better fit on the bottom jaw than conventional dentures. In many cases, an implant overdenture on the bottom is paired with a conventional top denture. It can take several months to learn to eat and speak while wearing dentures, and they require daily cleaning. SimpleStepsDental.com lists tips for living with dentures[4] .

Additional costs:- Dentures may crack or break, and the fit will change over time. Repairs can cost $50-$200 and professional relining to adjust the fit is typically $250-$450. Do-it-yourself repair or reline kits (available from drug stores or online) cost $10-$50.
Discounts:- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research has tips for finding low-cost dental care[5] .
Shopping for dentures:- Ask how the dentures will be customized to fit, the materials used and how many follow-up appointments are included. A dental adhesive manufacturer lists questions to ask before getting dentures[6] .
- If the patient has dental insurance, the insurance company will provide a list of approved dentists. Or search for local members of the American College of Prosthodontists[7] , the American Dental Association[8] or the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry[9] .

Exhorbitant Price for Porcelain Fixed Dentures

Dentist: Dr. Kuteh
Type: General Dentistry
I had all my upper teeth removed because they were chewed up by my nightly teeth grinding, and I have maybe 6 teeth on the bottom, because my original dentist kept pulling them when he thought they should come out. With all my uppers pulled, they place four implants into my upper gums to hold a plastic denture (removeable), which I am uncomfortably wearing at present! I haven’t been able to taste food since this temporary fake denture was placed in my mouth after surgery. They had to cut a notch out of this plastic denture, or else it would get mauled by rubbing against a lower back tooth. This cheap piece of plastic they put in my upper mouth is rubbing a sore place on my upper left side, and the teeth look like and are the size of children’s teeth, and you can’t even see them when I speak, and my speech is awful, because the teeth don’t fit properly! If I try to eat with them, the come loose, and I can’t continue eating! I won’t even take them out EVER, because they look bad!

I’ve needed dentures for a couple years or more. Several teeth pulled and a couple broken, one in front and another chipped in front. We won’t have dental insurance again until next year but my husband wants me to get them now so I’ll feel better about myself and not be so depressed and afraid to smile. He’s had them for several years so he’ll help me get used to them. I’m getting full upper and lower with two implants on lower set. I’m very very nervous, and will have to pay on credit which will put more debt on us and with interest will be even more expensive.

Immediate dentures-upper and lower

Dentist: Kamra DeFries
Type: General
Immediate Dentures were $3000 for the set full upper and full lower). Extractions of 19 teeth were another $3000. Some local dentists, I later learned, do both the immediate denture AND permanent dentures a year later for the same $3000. The immediate dentures are thick and unwearable. The "permanent" set, for which we will again pay for out-of-pocket (dentist had maxed our dental insurance for the year with fillings before she decided full-mouth extractions were needed) will be purchased elsewhere.
