About Dentures Prices
What do Dentures cost?
In countries where Denturism/Dental Prosthetics is legally performed by Denturists it is typically the Denturist association that publishes the fee guide.
In countries where it is performed by dentists, it is typically the dental association that publishes the fee guide. Some governments also provide additional coverage for the purchase of dentures by seniors.
Cost with insurance
Typically, only standard low-cost dentures are covered by insurance and because many individuals would prefer to have a premium cosmetic denture or a premium precision denture they rely on consumer dental patient financing options.
Low-cost dentures
A low-cost denture starts at about $500–$950 per denture, or $1200–$1,800 for a complete set of upper and lower dentures.
These tend to be cold cured dentures, which are considered temporary because of the lower quality materials and streamlined processing methods used in their manufacture. In many cases, there is no opportunity to try them on for fit before they are finished.
They also tend to look artificial and not as natural as higher quality, higher priced dentures.
Mid-priced dentures
A mid-priced (and better quality) heat cured denture typically costs $500–$1,500 per denture or $1,000-$3,000 for a complete set.
The teeth look much more natural and are much longer lasting than cold cured or temporary dentures.
In many cases, they may be tried out before they are finished to ensure that all the teeth occlude (meet) properly and look aesthetically pleasing.
These usually come with a 90-day to two-year warranty and in some cases a money-back guarantee if the customer is not satisfied. In some cases, the cost of subsequent adjustments to the dentures is included.
Premium dentures
Premium heat cured dentures can cost $2,000-$4,000 per denture, or $4,000-$8,000 or more for a set. Dentures in this price range are usually completely customized and personalized, use high-end materials to simulate the lifelike 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.

Denture cost vs Implants
The upfront costs with dentures are also less expensive than dental implants, but it is important to note that you will likely need to replace them every few years.
Dental implants are an innovative and modern solution to correct missing teeth.
This is a long-term solution to tooth loss, as implants won’t move or slip.

The average cost of complete dentures can be anywhere from $1300-3200. If you need your teeth extracted first, the price goes up even more.
