How Much Do Dentures Cost?

Key takeaways

• The cost of dentures depends on the type, the number of teeth, the materials and any extra procedures.
• Partial dentures, complete dentures and implant-supported dentures are priced differently, so each needs its own quote.
• Extractions, bone grafts and follow-up adjustments can change the total.
• Insurance, CareCredit, in-house payment plans and the Ultra Discounts plan can make the cost easier to manage.
• A dentist can look at your mouth and give you a clear quote with no pressure.

How do the main denture options compare?

How much do dentures cost?

The cost of dentures varies from person to person, so no single number fits everyone. A complete set, a partial denture and an implant-supported denture are all priced differently, and the most accurate figure comes from a personalized quote after an exam.

Think of the price as a sum of a few parts: the type of denture, the number of teeth being replaced, the materials used, and any work your mouth needs first. Two people who both say they need "dentures" can end up with very different quotes because those parts are different.

If you have been putting this off because you are worried about the cost, you are in good company, and there is no judgment here. Asking for a quote is simply a way to find out where you stand. Walk-ins are welcome at our offices, and you can also call ahead.

What affects the cost of dentures?

Several factors shape the final cost: the type of denture, the materials, how many teeth are replaced, and whether you need other procedures first. Each one is worth understanding before you compare quotes.

• Type of denture: Complete dentures replace all the teeth in an arch. Partial dentures fill gaps and attach to remaining teeth. Implant-supported options use implants for extra stability.
• Materials: Denture teeth and the gum-colored base can be made from different materials. Some look more natural or last longer than others, and that can change the price.
• Number of teeth: Replacing a few teeth is a different job than replacing a full upper or lower arch.
• Extra procedures: Extractions, treatment for gum disease, or a bone graft may be needed before dentures fit well.
• Fit and follow-up: Dentures usually need adjustments after you start wearing them, and mouths change over time.

You can read more about the main options on our page about types of dentures.

How much does a partial denture cost?

A partial denture generally costs less than a complete set because it replaces fewer teeth, but the exact amount depends on the design and materials. Lower partial dentures are quoted the same way as upper ones.

According to the American Dental Association, a partial denture is used when some natural teeth remain. It usually sits on a gum-colored base and may attach to neighboring teeth with clasps. Because the framework has to match your remaining teeth, each one is custom made.

Things that can move the price of a partial denture include:

• How many teeth are missing and where the gaps are.
• Whether the framework is a flexible material or a metal one.
• The condition of the teeth that will hold it in place.
• Whether any teeth need to come out first.

If you are weighing a partial against a full set, our page on full and partial dentures explains how each one works. A dentist can tell you which fits your situation and give you a written quote for it.

How much do dentures cost without insurance?

Without insurance, you pay for dentures yourself, but that does not mean you are out of options. The total still depends on the type, materials and extra work, and payment tools can spread it out over time.

Our team wants every budget to feel welcome. If you do not have dental coverage, you can ask about:

• The Ultra Discounts plan, designed for people without insurance. You can learn more on our Ultra Discounts page.
• CareCredit, a financing option where you can get pre-approved.
• In-house payment plans with no credit check and no interest.

We also accept cash, checks and major credit cards. We want your bill to hold no surprises, so you will know what to expect before treatment starts. Ask for a quote in writing so you can compare it calmly at home.

How much do implant-supported dentures cost?

Implant-supported dentures usually cost more than traditional dentures because they involve dental implants and a surgical step. People often choose them when they want a denture that feels more secure.

The American Dental Association says, "Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth and are designed to blend in with your other teeth." With an implant-supported denture, a small number of implants are placed in the jaw, and the denture connects to them instead of resting only on the gums.

The quote for this option depends on:

• How many implants are needed.
• Whether you need a bone graft or extractions beforehand.
• The materials used for the final teeth.
• Healing time between placement and the final restoration. Our team can place implants the same day in many cases, and healing takes a few months before the permanent teeth are attached.

We do not post a set price for full-arch work online, because it depends so much on your mouth. If you are curious, you can read our dental implants information or ask for a consultation.

What is the difference between the main denture options?

The main options differ in how many teeth they replace and how they stay in place. The table below the article gives a quick side-by-side view, and the points here explain the differences in plain language.

Complete dentures replace every tooth in an upper or lower arch and rest on the gums. Partial dentures replace some teeth and use your remaining teeth for support. Implant-supported dentures attach to implants in the jaw for added stability. MedlinePlus notes that dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth, and that you will need to get used to them and care for them daily.

None of these is automatically the right choice. A person with a few missing teeth, a person who wants a full arch replaced, and a person focused on a particular budget may each pick something different. A dentist can walk through the trade-offs with you in plain language.

How can I get a quote for dentures?

The simplest way to get a quote is to visit one of our offices for an exam, where a dentist can look at your mouth and explain your options. You can walk in or call to book a visit.

Here is what usually happens:

1. A dentist reviews your teeth, gums and any existing dental work.
2. The team explains which denture types could work and why.
3. Any needed extra work, such as extractions, is discussed up front.
4. You receive a quote and a clear explanation of what insurance may cover.
5. We go over financing and payment plans if you would like them.

We accept most major dental PPO plans, and our staff helps you make the most of your coverage and handles claims. Our team also speaks Spanish. We have offices in Peoria, North Phoenix and Metro, with a Mesa office opening in December 2026. If you have a dental emergency, same-day emergency care is available.

This article is general education and not a diagnosis. A dentist can advise you on your own situation and give you a quote that fits your needs.
