Dentures and bridges
Replace several teeth, or all of them, with something that fits, stays put and lets you eat.
- Starting price
- $1,500 for a full upper or lower denture
- Time
- Four to six visits over about six weeks.
What it is
A bridge fills a gap of one to three teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the teeth either side. A denture replaces more — a partial for some teeth, a full set for all of them. Both are made from impressions of your mouth, then adjusted until they fit.
Fit is the whole job. Expect a couple of follow-up visits in the first month to fine-tune sore spots; they’re included in the price. If you have an old denture that’s loose, a reline is often all it needs.
