How Much Do Dentures Cost in 2026? A Type-by-Type Price Guide

The cost of dentures in the United States averages $1,968 for a full conventional set of both plates, within a published range of $1,520 to $3,648, according to the 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study conducted by ASQ360° Market Research. Florida's state average in that same study is $1,958. Denture pricing gets clearer when it is organized by type, because type sets the range before anything else.

Every dollar figure on this page comes from the published national or state data sources named in the text. None are fees quoted by Gardens Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry. Your fee is determined only after an examination and is given to you in writing before treatment begins.

How much do dentures cost?

Full conventional removable dentures, meaning both the upper and lower plates, average $1,968 in the United States, with a range of $1,520 to $3,648, according to the 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study conducted by ASQ360° Market Research. Florida's state average in that same study is $1,958.

The market behind that average is wide. The same study puts economy removable full dentures at $452 on average, with a range of $348 to $883, and premium full dentures built from more expensive materials and more customization at $6,514 on average, with a range of $5,000 to $12,438. Its state table runs from $1,676 in Oklahoma to $2,867 in Hawaii. Florida's $1,958 average sits just below the $1,968 national average and in the lower half of that published state range.

Types of dentures and cost, side by side

Across the categories a general dentist restores, published averages run from $452 for an economy full set to $15,176 per arch for a fixed full-arch restoration, all from the 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study conducted by ASQ360° Market Research. Every figure in the table below comes from that study.

* The study publishes these as separate category averages and does not state whether surgical placement of the implants is included in any of them, so confirm with the practice what a quoted fee covers. The $3,976 full implant-supported figure and the $15,176 fixed full-arch figure come from two different category definitions in the same study and are not directly comparable. Confirm which procedure a quote refers to before comparing them.

Type is the first cost driver. Material, how many arches are treated, and whether implants are involved then move a case within its band. For a walkthrough of the types rather than their prices, see our guide to the newest type of denture.

How much do full dentures cost?

These sources are not directly comparable, so take them one at a time. Priced per arch rather than as a set, a full upper denture runs $1,220 to $2,540 and a full lower denture $1,115 to $2,425 out of network, based on 2024 Delta Dental internal data.

Synchrony reports a market average for a complete set of both plates, Delta Dental reports out-of-network ranges per arch, and the January 2026 American Dental Care Network fee schedule is a discount-network fee list. Doubling a per-arch figure will not reproduce the set average. That schedule lists two columns, an average price and a lower member price, for example $2,400 against $978 for a complete upper denture (D5110). It is cited here because the American Dental Association discontinued its Survey of Dental Fees in 2023, so no current ADA average fee exists for D5110 or any other denture code.

Full dentures replace every tooth in an arch and are supported by the gum tissue and underlying ridge, with an upper denture also seated against the palate. The American College of Prosthodontists reports more than 36 million Americans have no teeth and about 90 percent of them wear dentures. Adaptation takes time. A prospective cohort in the International Journal of Prosthodontics found a mean of 78.54 days to adapt to a new lower complete denture (95% CI 71.04 to 86.04), with 19 of 108 patients not adapted at six months. See our overview of 3D printed dentures.

How much do partial dentures cost?

National averages are $2,229 for a metal framework partial (range $1,728 to $4,203), $1,761 for flexible nylon (range $1,360 to $3,451) and $1,738 for resin based (range $1,333 to $3,283), all from the 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study.

Partial dentures replace some teeth and are held in place by the remaining ones, most commonly with clasps. Per arch, 2024 Delta Dental internal data puts an upper partial at $1,435 to $2,785 and a lower partial at $1,425 to $2,490, and the January 2026 American Dental Care Network fee schedule lists $1,900 average price against a $934 member price for a resin-base partial (D5211 and D5212). As with full dentures these sources are not directly comparable: one is a market average for the appliance, one is an out-of-network range per arch, and one is a network fee list.

One benefit rule matters here. The American Dental Association describes a least expensive alternative treatment provision, found in many plans, which reduces benefits to the least expensive of the possible treatment options as determined by the plan.

How much do immediate dentures cost?

An immediate denture is fabricated in advance so it can be placed at the same visit the remaining teeth are removed. The national average is $2,178, with a range of $1,707 to $3,540, in the 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study. On the January 2026 American Dental Care Network fee schedule it lists at $2,550 average price per arch, above a conventional complete denture at $2,400.

That difference reflects the extra laboratory and chairside work of building a prosthesis before the ridge has healed, and the ridge changes quickly. A systematic review in Clinical Oral Implants Research, measuring at extraction sites, found horizontal reduction of about 3.79 mm against 1.24 mm vertically at the buccal at six months, with the rapid change concentrated in the first three to six months. Ridge change of this magnitude is why an immediate denture is planned alongside a later reline or a definitive denture, so ask whether the fee includes those steps.

How much do snap-in denture implants cost?

Read the averages here as published study categories rather than as a finished case price, because the study does not state whether surgical placement of the implants is included. Snap-on implant retained dentures average $2,480 (range $1,901 to $4,729) and implant overdentures average $3,136 (range $2,436 to $6,014) in the 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study.

That study prices three implant retained categories separately: snap-on implant retained at $2,480, implant overdenture at $3,136, and its full implant-supported category at $3,976 (range $3,055 to $7,294). It publishes each as a category average without defining implant count or attachment type, so the label alone does not tell a patient which one describes their case. Ask which category a quote is written against, how many implants it includes, and whether implant surgery is billed separately.

Clinically, the evidence for stabilizing a lower denture with two implants is strong. A systematic review in the European Journal of Oral Implantology concluded there is overwhelming evidence from systematic reviews that a two implant overdenture is the first choice of treatment for the edentulous mandible. A meta-analysis of randomized trials in Clinical and Experimental Dental Research (post-treatment comparison: 6 RCTs, 635 patients; the review's overall pool was 8 RCTs and 812 patients) found higher patient satisfaction with mandibular implant overdentures than with conventional dentures on a 100-mm visual analogue scale, weighted mean difference 14.408 (95% CI 8.589 to 20.226). Individual results vary. A systematic review in Clinical Oral Implants Research estimated five-year implant survival at 98.9 percent in the mandible (95% CI 98.7 to 99.1), which describes a studied population and is not a prediction for any individual.

Consensus statements say the same thing. The McGill Consensus Statement (2002) concluded that a two-implant overdenture should become the first choice of treatment for the edentulous mandible, and the York Consensus Statement (2009), produced by the British Society for the Study of Prosthetic Dentistry in the UK, described two implants as the minimum standard that should be sufficient for most people rather than the gold standard. Whether that fits any particular patient depends on bone volume, medical history and goals, which an examination determines. Our full mouth dental implants cost breakdown covers financing.

How much does a fixed full-arch denture cost per arch?

A fixed full-arch implant restoration, sometimes marketed under the brand name All-on-4, averages $15,176 per arch nationally, with a range of $11,640 to $27,500, in the 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study. The Florida state average in that same table is $15,132 per arch, essentially the same number.

State averages there run from $12,642 in Mississippi to $22,989 in Hawaii, so Florida sits close to the national figure rather than at either edge. Note that this is a per-arch average, so a treatment plan covering both arches is priced accordingly. All-on-4 is a trademark of Nobel Biocare and refers to that company's specific protocol; the generic category is a fixed full-arch implant restoration. Our fixed full-arch implant cost page for Palm Beach Gardens works through the local math.

Cost of full dentures with extractions, component by component

No published US cost survey reports a single bundled price for full dentures with extractions included, so the figure has to be built from parts. The immediate denture itself averages $2,178, with a range of $1,707 to $3,540, in the 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study. Extractions are priced separately, per tooth.

• Simple, nonsurgical extraction: $177 average per tooth, range $137 to $335 (2024 Synchrony study). 2024 Delta Dental internal data puts the same procedure at $150 to $310, and the January 2026 American Dental Care Network schedule lists $250 average price against a $95 member price (D7140).

• Surgical extraction: $363 average per tooth, range $281 to $702 (2024 Synchrony study). Delta Dental puts it at $260 to $460.

• General anesthesia, where it is used: $639 average, range $494 to $1,253 (2024 Synchrony study).

• Diagnostic work-up, averaged in the 2024 Synchrony study: dental exam $203, panoramic X-ray $200, full-mouth X-ray $266, cone-beam CT $466.

• Periodontal therapy, when teeth are being retained: scaling and root planing $242 per quadrant (2024 Synchrony study).

Because tooth count and whether each extraction is simple or surgical vary patient by patient, a combined figure only becomes meaningful after an exam and imaging. Ask for the plan itemized by ADA procedure code.

How much do dentures cost without insurance?

Without benefits a patient pays the practice fee, so published averages are the reference point: $1,968 for full conventional dentures in the 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study. That situation is common. CareQuest Institute for Oral Health, in its 2024 State of Oral Health Equity in America survey published November 2025, reports 27 percent of US adults, roughly 72 million people, have no dental insurance.

That survey of more than 9,000 US adults shows the gap tracks income: 38 percent of adults in households under $30,000 a year lack coverage, against 17 percent at $100,000 or more. Three questions help when paying directly. Ask which tier the fee covers, since the same Synchrony study separates economy full dentures at a $452 average from premium at $6,514. Ask for the fee itemized by procedure code. Ask what payment plan or third-party financing the office works with. A removable option is often the lower-cost path, and our overview of dentures without implants compares them.

What dental insurance pays toward a denture case

Dentures fall in the major restorative tier. In the plan design the American Dental Association uses as a typical example in its 2023 publication Dental Benefits: An Introduction, preventive and diagnostic care is covered at 100 percent, basic restorative at 80 percent and major restorative at 50 percent, with a $50 annual deductible and a $1,500 annual maximum across all services except orthodontics.

For a denture case the annual maximum, rather than the coinsurance percentage, is often what limits the benefit. ADA News in December 2025, citing National Association of Dental Plans data, reports 32.8 percent of in-network annual maximums fall between $1,000 and $1,500, 48.2 percent between $1,500 and $2,500, and 17.2 percent above $2,500 or with no maximum at all. Delta Dental notes a 12-month waiting period is often standard for major services such as crowns or dentures.

American Dental Association Health Policy Institute 2024 data, reported by ADA News in December 2025, found only 3.4 percent of dental patients reach the typical annual maximum. That figure is not broken out by procedure. What the arithmetic does show is that the $1,968 national average for a full conventional set exceeds the $1,500 annual maximum in the ADA's example plan design on its own, before extractions or imaging are added.

Does Medicare cover dentures?

No. The official Medicare & You 2026 handbook from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services states that in most cases Original Medicare does not cover items like dentures. Medicare Advantage differs: KFF's December 2025 analysis reports 98 percent of individual Medicare Advantage plans offer some dental benefit in 2026, often subject to an annual dollar cap.

The Original Medicare exceptions are limited to dental care closely related to a covered medical service, including heart valve repair or replacement, organ transplant, cancer-related treatment, and dialysis for end-stage renal disease. On the size of the Medicare Advantage cap, KFF's September 2021 report on 2021 plan data found that among Medicare Advantage enrollees offered more extensive dental coverage, 78 percent were in plans with annual dollar limits averaging $1,300, and 59 percent of those enrollees were in a plan with a maximum dental benefit of $1,000 or less. That is 2021 plan data, so confirm the current cap with the plan.

What Florida Medicaid pays for adult dentures

These are the state's published allowables for participating providers, included here for reference. On the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration Dental General Services Fee Schedule effective January 1, 2025, a complete upper or lower denture (D5110 and D5120) pays $311.37 for members 21 and over, and a resin-base partial denture (D5211 and D5212) pays $165.73. Both require prior authorization.

Confirm with any office, including ours, whether it participates in Florida Medicaid before scheduling. The same schedule lists $316.39 for a cast metal framework partial for members 21 and over, $27.12 for an extraction (D7140) and $40.18 for a surgical extraction (D7210), both also for members 21 and over.

On implants, the AHCA Dental General Services Fee Schedule effective January 1, 2025 lists no D6110 through D6117 implant or abutment supported denture codes and no D6010 implant placement code. Members should confirm implant coverage directly with their assigned Florida Medicaid dental plan, because plans may offer benefits beyond this schedule.

What dentures cost to maintain after delivery

The American Dental Association advises evaluating a denture for replacement if more than five years have passed since it was fabricated, and notes adhesives are not a remedy for ill-fitting dentures, which may need to be relined or replaced. A 20-year review of 187,227 publicly insured Australian adults in the Journal of Dentistry found 5.9 percent received at least one reline.

In that same review, dentures that needed a reline within the first 12 months went on to average 5.03 years of service against 7.12 years for those relined later. The early reline signals initial fit, it does not cause the shorter life. Do not delay a reline your dentist recommends, because an ill-fitting denture accelerates ridge resorption and tissue irritation.

On price, the January 2026 American Dental Care Network fee schedule lists average prices of $125 to adjust a complete denture, $250 to repair a broken denture base, $650 to rebase a complete denture, $350 to repair or replace a broken clasp, and $250 to add a tooth to an existing partial. As with the other figures from that schedule, each carries a lower member price, for example $388 against the $650 rebase. These costs recur across the life of the prosthesis. Implant overdentures carry their own load: a randomized prospective trial (Payne and Solomons, International Journal of Prosthodontics, 2000) found relining needed in 40 percent of overdentures and remaking in 21 percent of patients over three years.

What these numbers do not tell you

Published averages describe what studied populations paid and how studied populations did. They are not a quote and not a prognosis. Extraction and implant placement are surgical procedures that carry risk, and not every patient is a candidate for every option.

• Bone volume, gum health and medical history change both candidacy and cost, and none of that can be judged from a price table.

• The outcome figures on this page, including the 98.9 percent five-year mandibular implant survival estimate and the satisfaction meta-analysis, describe research populations. Individual results vary.

• The functional benefit of implants is not uniform. A systematic review in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry found the improvement in masticatory performance documented specifically for patients with persistent functional problems from a severely resorbed mandible.

• Better chewing does not automatically mean better nutrition. A systematic review with meta-analysis in Clinical Nutrition covering 817 prostheses in 660 patients found significantly better masticatory function with implant overdentures, while the bioavailability of most nutrients stayed within the same range.

• Every prosthesis needs maintenance, relines and eventual replacement, as the section above sets out.

What should a denture treatment plan include?

Ask for it itemized by ADA procedure code, because a single category spans a wide band: full conventional dentures range from $1,520 to $3,648 in the 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study, before extractions, imaging or implants enter the plan. A written plan is what turns a category average into a real number.

• Every procedure listed by its code, with the fee attached to each line.

• Which visits sit inside the fee, including adjustments, relines and any temporary prosthesis.

• The denture tier being priced, since economy, conventional and premium are separate bands.

• Whether implant surgery is inside the quoted fee or billed separately, and how many implants are planned.

• The estimated benefit, the deductible, the annual maximum and any waiting period.

• The alternatives considered, with their ranges, so removable and implant-retained options compare line by line.
