Dentures cost depends on the type you choose, the materials, how many teeth are being replaced, and whether you need extractions or implants. A partial for a few teeth and a full set on implants are very different treatments. At Omni Dental, you can ask for a written estimate after an exam and compare options clearly.
Types of dentures and cost: how they compare
The biggest factor in the price of dentures is the type. Here is how the main options compare, roughly from the simplest to the most involved:
- Traditional partial denture. Replaces a few missing teeth and clips onto your natural teeth. Usually the lowest starting cost.
- Flexible partial. Made from a thinner, bendable resin. Often priced differently from a rigid partial, and not suited to every mouth.
- Full (complete) denture. Replaces all the teeth in one arch and is usually priced per arch. The cost rises with the quality of the teeth and base materials.
- Immediate denture. Made before extractions and placed when teeth are removed. Dr. Poles tells you at your exam whether it suits you. It often needs a reline or a new denture after the gums heal, which adds to the total.
- Snap in denture. A denture that clips onto implants. It adds the cost of implant surgery and attachments, but is usually much steadier.
- Fixed implant bridge. Not a removable denture at all. It has the highest upfront cost of these options and stays in your mouth.
Partial dentures cost
Partial dentures cost depends mostly on the design and how many teeth it replaces. A partial with a cast metal frame is sturdier and thinner than an all-acrylic one, and the two are priced differently.
The health of your remaining teeth also matters. If a supporting tooth needs a filling, crown or extraction first, that is part of the overall cost of getting the partial to work well.
Snap in dentures cost
Snap in dentures cost more than a regular denture because they include implants. The total depends on how many implants your jaw needs, the type of attachments, and whether your current denture can be adapted.
A lower snap in denture on two implants is a common starting point, while an upper usually needs more. The clip liners wear and are replaced as part of routine care, so plan for that small ongoing cost. See how snap in dentures work for the full process.
Which denture material is right for you?
There is no single right material for everyone. Acrylic bases are common and easy to adjust or reline. Cast metal frames make partials thinner and stronger, and flexible resin can feel lighter for some mouths.
Denture teeth also come in different grades. Higher grade teeth usually look more natural and resist wear better, but they cost more. Ask what each quote uses so you compare like with like.
What else changes the price of dentures
Beyond the denture type, a few other things affect what you pay:
- Extractions. Teeth that need to come out first add a step, and sometimes a healing period. Read what tooth removal involves.
- Gum and bone health. Sore or uneven gums may need treatment before a denture can fit well.
- Relines and adjustments. As your gums change, relines keep the denture fitting.
- Number of arches. Upper, lower or both.
Are cheap dentures worth it?
A low price can be tempting, but a denture that does not fit well can cause sore spots, trouble eating and speaking, and extra visits. Cheap dentures are not always a bad choice, but you should know what you are giving up.
When you compare quotes, ask:
- Are the exam, impressions and try-in included, or only the final denture?
- What grade of teeth and base material is used?
- Are adjustments after delivery included, and for how long?
A clear estimate that lists every stage is the fairest way to compare prices.
Does insurance cover dentures?
Many dental plans pay toward dentures, often as a major service with its own coverage level. Plans differ on how often a denture can be replaced, whether implants are covered, and waiting periods.
Omni Dental accepts most major dental plans, including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Delta Dental and MetLife. Coverage depends on your plan, so bring your insurance card and ask our front desk what it covers before treatment starts.
How to plan for the cost of dentures
A few practical ways to plan:
- Start with the problem you want to solve. If a loose lower denture is the issue, two implants may matter more than upgrading the denture itself.
- Phase treatment. Extractions, a healing period and the final denture can sometimes be spread across plan years.
- Use pre-tax health accounts. Ask your HSA or FSA administrator whether dentures qualify.
- Look after your denture. Daily cleaning and checkups help it last and avoid early replacement.

Plan ahead
What affects the cost of dentures
| Cost factor | What changes the price | How to plan for it |
|---|---|---|
| Denture type | Partial, full, immediate, snap in and fixed implant options each involve different work. | Compare at least two types in your written estimate. |
| Number of teeth or arches | A partial for a few teeth costs differently from a full upper, lower or both. | Decide which arch matters most to treat first. |
| Materials | Denture teeth and base materials vary in look, strength and wear. | Ask what grade of teeth and base each quote uses. |
| Extractions | Teeth that need removal add a visit and sometimes a healing period. | Check whether extractions are part of the quote. |
| Implants | Snap in dentures add implant surgery and attachments. | Ask how many implants your jaw needs and what the clips cost to maintain. |
| Relines and adjustments | Fit changes as gums heal and the jaw changes. | Ask which adjustments are included after delivery. |
| Insurance benefits | Many plans pay toward dentures but limit how often they are replaced. | Check your coverage level, waiting periods and replacement rules. |

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do not see your question? Call us and we will talk it through.
Call (847) 483-8833What is the cheapest type of denture?
A traditional acrylic partial or a basic full denture usually has the lowest starting cost. The cheapest option is not always good value, though, if it fits poorly or needs early replacement. Ask for a basic and an upgraded option side by side in your estimate.
Why do snap in dentures cost more than regular dentures?
They include dental implants, the surgery to place them and the attachments that hold the denture. In return, the denture is usually much steadier when you eat and talk. For a lower denture that floats, two implants often make a clear difference.
What affects the cost of full dentures with extractions?
The number of teeth to remove, how complex each extraction is, and whether you wear an immediate denture while you heal all change the total. An immediate denture usually needs a reline or a new denture once the gums settle, so ask that both stages appear in your estimate.
Does insurance pay for dentures?
Many dental plans pay part of the cost of dentures, usually under major services. Plans set limits on how often a denture can be replaced and may have waiting periods. Omni Dental accepts most major plans, and coverage always depends on your own plan.
How can I get dentures if I can't afford them?
Start with an exam so you know every option and its cost. A partial may solve the most pressing problem first, and treatment can sometimes be phased across plan years to use insurance benefits. Ask your HSA or FSA administrator whether dentures qualify.
Are relines included in the price of dentures?
It depends on the plan and the type of denture. Early adjustments for sore spots are a normal part of getting a new denture, and gums change over time. Ask which adjustments and relines your estimate includes.
