Costs, coverage, practices and savings, every figure sourced

Dentures: what they cost, who does them near you, and how to pay less

Every published denture price, every state’s Medicaid rule and a practice finder built on the federal NPI register, each figure with a source and a date. We are a publication, not a practice: nothing here replaces an examination, and we do not arrange, quote or recommend treatment.

The $395 denture you saw advertised is the replacement price for one arch, before extractions.

Every denture specialist, implant surgeon and registered dental practice the federal NPI register lists in the states we cover. A register, not a ranking: alphabetical, dated, and no one can pay to appear.

How the register works

Cost & coverage

The published prices and the program rules, each read from its source on a stated date. No one can pay to change a figure.

Save money on dentures

The routes that actually lower the bill, each with a published figure behind it.

  • Start at the entry tier

    A replacement Economy denture is published from $395 per arch; the first-denture package and the extractions are what the sticker leaves out.

  • Dental schools and sliding-fee clinics

    A student clinic publishes savings of up to 50 percent less than local private practices; HRSA-funded health centers charge on a sliding fee scale by income, dental included.

  • Coverage you may already have

    39 state Medicaid programs cover adult dentures; most Medicare Advantage plans add a dental benefit that Original Medicare does not have.

  • Donated care

    Dental Lifeline Network arranges comprehensive donated dental care for adults who cannot afford it, through volunteer dentists and labs.

The types of dentures

What each one is and what it costs at the providers’ own published prices, before extractions.

  • Complete dentures

    A full arch, upper or lower: $395 to $2,391 per arch at published chain prices, before extractions.

  • Partial dentures

    Replace some teeth and keep the rest: published chain partials run $1,167 to $1,993 per arch.

  • Immediate dentures

    Fitted the same day your teeth come out; the bill is the denture plus the extractions.

  • Implant-supported dentures

    Snap-on or fixed, anchored on implants: $7,534 to $13,500 per arch, published average to range.

  • Not sure which? Three questions

    The chooser maps your teeth, your preference and your budget to the type usually discussed first, with its published price band.
