How much do dentures cost in 2026?

Full dentures cost $1,500–$4,000 per arch, partial dentures $1,000–$3,000, and implant-supported overdentures $5,000–$15,000 per arch. Premium materials and characterization push prices higher. Insurance often covers 50% of basic dentures after deductible, every 5–7 years.

What is the denture fitting process?

Traditional dentures require 4–5 visits over 4–8 weeks: impressions, bite registration, try-in, delivery, and post-delivery adjustments. Immediate dentures are placed the day teeth are extracted but require relining at 3–6 months once gums heal. Same-day digital dentures are becoming available in select practices.

Do dentures hurt and how long is the adjustment?

Sore spots are normal in the first 2–4 weeks and resolved by chairside adjustments. Most patients adapt to eating and speaking within 4–8 weeks. A reline is typically needed every 2 years to maintain fit as bone shrinks.

How long do dentures last?

Dentures typically last 5–10 years before remake is needed, with relines every 2 years. Bone resorption is continuous after tooth loss, so fit changes over time even with care. Implant-retained dentures slow bone loss and can last longer.

Am I a candidate for dentures or implants?

Dentures suit nearly all edentulous patients regardless of bone or health status and have the lowest upfront cost. Implant-supported dentures ($5,000–$15,000+ per arch) need adequate bone but give 5–10x stronger bite and prevent slippage. All-on-4 ($20,000–$35,000/arch) is the premium fixed option.
