What is a dentures?
A complete denture (D5110 upper, D5120 lower) replaces all teeth in one arch. Quotes vary wildly: "economy" dentures use stock teeth and basic acrylic; "premium" dentures use custom-shaded teeth and reinforced bases for better fit and aesthetics. Implant-retained dentures (snap-on) start around $6,000/arch.
Why prices vary
These four factors explain most of the price differences you'll see.

Quality tier
Economy: $600–$1,200. Mid-tier: $1,500–$2,500. Premium: $2,500–$4,500. Implant-retained: $6,000–$15,000.

Extractions before
Most patients need teeth extracted first ($150–$650/tooth) — sometimes 8–14 teeth — before immediate or conventional dentures.
- 3
Immediate vs. conventional
Immediate dentures (worn day of extraction): +$200–$500. Need relining at 6 months once gums heal.
- 4
Adjustments included?
Premium quotes usually include 6 months of adjustments; economy quotes often don't.

What insurance usually covers
PPO plans typically cover 50% of dentures up to your annual maximum, but the lifetime denture benefit (often once per 5–10 years) is a separate limit. Medicare doesn't cover dentures except in rare medically-necessary cases.
