Dentures are removable oral devices that contain artificial teeth and gums to replace missing or removed teeth. To create these appliances, the dental professional will take measurements and an impression of your jaw. Then, they'll create denture models for you to try on, and assess the models to ensure shape, color, and fit are natural. Finally, the provider casts the dentures and makes the final adjustments to ensure a comfortable, custom fit.
Partial dentures can cost anywhere from $450 to $3,100 without insurance.2 On the other hand, full dentures can cost up to $3,500.2 Here are some average costs and cost ranges for full and partial dentures by type:2
