Cost of Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are the superior, secure, and effective alternative to traditional dentures. Don’t let the cost of implant dentures prevent you from getting your smile back. ClearChoice’s affordable options and financing solutions make implant dentures more accessible for everyone.
How Much Do Implant Dentures Cost?
Implant dentures are a customized solution and typically cost between $8,000 and $13,500. Costs can vary based on different factors, such as the implant type, materials used, and pre-implant treatments, which we’ll cover below.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Implant-Supported Dentures
Here’s how each of these factors can affect the cost of implant-supported dentures:
Implant Type
The type of implant-supported dentures significantly influences the overall cost. Fixed implant dentures, which are permanently anchored and offer a more natural feel and stability, tend to be more expensive than removable implant dentures, which can be taken out for cleaning and maintenance. Additionally, the scope of the restoration—whether you require a full set of implant dentures to replace an entire arch or partial implant dentures to address specific missing teeth—also plays a role. Full implant-supported dentures generally cost more due to the greater number of implants and materials required, along with the complexity of the procedure.
Materials
Your dental care provider may offer different implant options that range in quality and price. Materials that promise better longevity and aesthetics are usually priced higher than other options. For instance, high-quality materials like zirconia may cost more than other types. Your dental care provider may present a range of material options tailored to your budget and aesthetic preferences.
Pre-Implant Treatments
Before dental implants can be placed, some patients may require preparatory treatments, which can add to the overall expense. For instance, tooth extractions might be necessary to remove damaged or decayed teeth, and bone grafts may be required to rebuild jawbone density if it has deteriorated. Additionally, treating conditions like gum disease is crucial to ensure a healthy foundation for the implants. These preparatory procedures not only increase costs but may also extend the timeline for completing the implant process, as healing time is often needed before proceeding with the actual implant placement.
Types of Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant dentures are not only supported by your gums but are also supported and retained by implants. These tooth replacement solutions can be attached to the implants via single snap-on attachments or via a metal bar that is attached to the implants. The implant denture then clips onto this bar for added support and stability. Implant dentures are removable for cleaning and offer improved chewing ability and reduced slippage compared to regular dentures.

Implant Denture FAQS
Can you sleep with implant dentures in?
You can sleep with your implant-supported dentures (removable or snap-on dentures) in or take them out at night. If you remove your implant dentures, be sure to store them in water (or as directed). Regardless of whether you leave your dentures in or remove them before going to sleep, it’s important to take them out and clean them beforehand.
Are denture implants covered by insurance?
Some insurance plans cover denture implants, but coverage rules may vary. It's a good idea to speak to your insurance provider to understand your coverage and its limitations. ClearChoice does not accept insurance payments, but you may be able to get a partial reimbursement from your insurer.
Are implant dentures worth the cost?
Implant dentures look like natural teeth. They help maintain jawbone health and facial structure. They also make it easier to bite, chew, and speak (compared to traditional dentures). They can last for years with good care and hygiene. Based on your needs and eligibility, implant dentures can be a great investment in your long-term oral health and confidence.
Am I a good candidate for implant-supported dentures?
While implant dentures are a safe tooth loss solution for many people, there are some important eligibility criteria to keep in mind. Implant-supported dentures may make sense for you if:
You have good jawbone density: Adequate jawbone volume and density is essential for implants to integrate properly. Dental care professionals will typically use a scan to assess jawbone health.
You're missing multiple teeth: If you're only missing one or two teeth, a tooth replacement alternative like an implant bridge or single dental implant may make more sense.
You're relatively healthy: Some medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune diseases increase the risk of implants not healing properly. Certain medications can affect bone health and make implant surgeries riskier. Additionally, individuals undergoing radiation therapy may also be at risk of complications from implant surgery.
