How Much Do Implant Dentures Cost?
By Dr. Eastwood – Summerbrook Dental & Implants, Fort Worth, TX
If you are missing many teeth or are unhappy with traditional dentures, you may be thinking about implant dentures. These are dentures that are held in place with dental implants, making them more secure and comfortable than regular dentures. One of the first questions people ask me is, “How much do implant dentures cost?”
The cost of implant dentures can vary depending on the type you choose and how many implants are needed. On average, implant dentures range from $10,000 to $30,000 per arch (upper or lower teeth). For both arches, the cost can be $20,000 or more. This includes the surgery to place the implants, the attachments, and the custom-made denture that connects to them.
There are two main types of implant dentures:
-
Snap-in dentures (overdentures): These dentures “snap” onto 2–4 implants. They are removable, which makes them easier to clean. They are usually less expensive, often starting around $10,000 to $15,000 per arch.
-
Fixed implant dentures (All-on-4 or All-on-6): These dentures are secured permanently to 4–6 implants and can only be removed by a dentist. They feel and function more like natural teeth but cost more, usually between $20,000 to $30,000 per arch.
The price may also increase if you need additional procedures, such as bone grafting or a sinus lift, to prepare your mouth for implants.
While implant dentures can seem expensive, they are an investment in your health and quality of life. Unlike regular dentures, they do not slip or move around, and they help protect your jawbone from shrinking. This means better chewing, clearer speech, and a smile you can feel confident about.
