Dentures & Partials

Dentures replace missing teeth with a removable appliance: full dentures for a whole arch, partials that clasp onto remaining teeth, and implant-retained overdentures that snap onto two or more implants for far better stability.

Getting the fit right

Expect several appointments — impressions, bite records, try-ins — before delivery, then adjustment visits as sore spots show up. Lower full dentures are notoriously harder to keep stable than uppers; that's exactly the case where two-implant overdentures earn their cost.

Immediate dentures

If teeth are being extracted, an 'immediate' denture placed the same day protects the sites while you heal — but gums shrink substantially over the following months, so plan on a reline or a new final denture afterward. Ask how relines are priced up front.

What it costs

Commonly quoted national ranges: basic full dentures $600–$1,500 per arch, mid-range to premium $1,500–$3,000+, cast-metal partials $900–$2,500, and implant-retained overdentures several thousand more including the implants. Prices vary by market and case — always ask for a written, itemized quote. Worried about affording it? See every real way to bring the cost down.
