I’ve heard dentures are expensive…

The average cost of a single traditional denture ranges from $1275 to $2750.

With several options to choose from in terms of materials and other features, you can select the type of denture that suits your budget, lifestyle, and personal goals. Premium materials such as zirconia and options such as dental implants will increase the cost of your dentures. Most insurance plans will cover at least a portion of the cost.
