Dentures
Cost London
Considering dentures to replace missing teeth and restore your smile? The cost of denture treatment varies depending on your individual needs. At our London clinic, we provide clear, consultation-based pricing — so you understand exactly what is involved before any treatment begins.
Transparent Pricing
How Much Do Dentures Cost in London?
The cost of dentures in London varies depending on the type of denture, the materials used, and the complexity of each individual case. At Dental Clinic London, partial acrylic dentures start from approximately £795, whilst full acrylic dentures start from approximately £1,095. Premium options such as cobalt-chrome and flexible dentures are also available, with costs determined following a clinical assessment.
We believe in complete transparency when it comes to pricing. Every patient receives a detailed, written treatment plan with confirmed costs before any work begins — there are no hidden fees or unexpected charges. Because each case is unique, we always recommend a consultation so your dentist can evaluate your mouth, assess the teeth and gums, and provide an accurate, personalised quotation.
Our approach to denture treatment pricing is consultation-based, ensuring you receive an honest appraisal of what is clinically appropriate for your situation. The cost reflects the quality of materials, the craftsmanship of the dental laboratory and the clinical care required to achieve a comfortable, natural-looking result.
Key Cost Factors
What Affects the Cost of Dentures?
Several factors influence the overall cost of your denture treatment. Understanding these helps you anticipate what your personalised treatment plan may involve.
Type of Denture
Whether you need a partial denture to replace a few missing teeth or a full denture to restore an entire arch significantly affects the cost. Partial dentures are generally less complex and therefore less expensive than full dentures.
Materials Used
Dentures can be crafted from a range of materials including acrylic, cobalt-chrome metal alloy and flexible nylon-based materials. Each material offers different benefits in terms of strength, aesthetics, comfort and durability — and is reflected in the price.
Number of Teeth Being Replaced
The more teeth that need to be replaced, the more material and laboratory work is required. A denture replacing two or three teeth will generally cost less than one designed to replace a full arch of missing teeth.
Fit & Customisation
Every denture is custom-made to fit your mouth precisely. Cases that require more detailed impressions, additional try-in appointments or bespoke aesthetic considerations — such as matching tooth shade and shape — may involve higher costs.
Complexity of the Case
Patients with significant bone loss, uneven ridges or remaining teeth that need extraction before denture fitting may require additional clinical work. Greater complexity demands more planning, appointments and expertise.
Preparatory Treatments
Some patients need extractions, gum treatment or other preparatory procedures before their dentures can be made. Any additional work is discussed and costed separately during your consultation so there are no surprises.
Cost by Case Type
Dentures Cost by Case Type
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth whilst preserving your remaining natural teeth. They are held in place using clasps or precision attachments that fit around existing teeth. Partial dentures are typically a cost-effective option and are suitable when healthy teeth remain on either side of the gap.
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all the teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. They rest on the gum ridges and are custom-made to fit precisely, relying on suction and the natural contours of the mouth for retention. Full dentures involve more material, more clinical appointments and more detailed laboratory work, which is reflected in the cost.
Upper or Lower Arch Dentures
Some patients only require a denture for one arch — either the upper or lower jaw. Upper dentures typically cover the palate for maximum retention, whilst lower dentures sit on the lower ridge. The cost of a single-arch denture depends on the type of denture chosen and the clinical complexity of the case.
Exact costs are determined following a clinical assessment. A detailed treatment plan with confirmed pricing is provided before any treatment begins.

What You Receive
What Is Included in the Cost of Dentures?
When you receive a denture quotation from our clinic, the cost encompasses every stage of the treatment process.
Consultation & Assessment
A thorough clinical examination to assess your oral health, evaluate the remaining teeth and gums, and determine which type of denture is most appropriate for your situation.
Impressions & Measurements
Precise impressions and bite recordings are taken to capture the exact contours of your mouth. These are sent to a specialist dental laboratory where your denture is custom-fabricated.
Denture Design & Fabrication
Your denture is designed and hand-crafted by a skilled dental technician. The teeth are carefully selected for shade, shape and size to complement your facial features and achieve a natural appearance.
Try-In Appointments
Before the final denture is completed, a wax try-in allows you and your dentist to assess the fit, bite and appearance. Adjustments can be made at this stage to ensure you are satisfied with the result.
Fitting & Final Adjustments
Your completed denture is fitted and the bite is carefully checked. Minor adjustments may be needed to ensure comfort and optimal function. Your dentist will ensure the denture sits securely and feels natural.
Follow-Up Care
Aftercare guidance is provided to help you adapt to wearing your new denture. Your dentist will advise on cleaning, storage, dietary considerations and the schedule for review appointments.
Value for Your Investment
Are Dentures Worth the Cost?
For many patients, dentures offer a practical, effective way to replace missing teeth and restore both function and appearance. Whilst dentures are generally a cost-effective removable tooth replacement option, their value extends well beyond the initial cost.
Restoring Function
Dentures replace missing teeth and restore the ability to chew a wider range of foods comfortably. They also support clearer speech, which can be affected when teeth are missing — particularly front teeth.
Improving Appearance
Well-made dentures are designed to replicate the natural appearance of your teeth and support the facial structures. This can help restore confidence in your smile and maintain the natural contours of your face.
Supporting Daily Activities
From eating and speaking to smiling with confidence, dentures help patients carry out everyday activities that may have become difficult due to missing teeth. The impact on quality of life can be significant.
Adaptable to Different Needs
Dentures are available in a range of types and materials to suit different clinical situations and budgets. Whether you need a simple partial denture or a complete set, the treatment can be tailored to your needs.
Individual results may vary. All treatment outcomes depend on the patient's clinical circumstances. A thorough assessment is required before treatment.

Personalised Treatment
Why Does Denture Cost Vary Between Patients?
Every patient presents with a unique combination of clinical needs, and this is precisely why denture costs differ from one person to another. The number of missing teeth, the condition of the gums and remaining teeth, the type of denture chosen and whether any preparatory procedures are needed all influence the final cost.
One patient may require a simple partial denture to replace two or three teeth, whilst another may need full dentures for both arches along with extractions and gum treatment before the dentures can be made. The materials, laboratory work, number of appointments and clinical time required for each case are reflected in the cost.
This is why we do not publish rigid fixed prices for dentures. Instead, we encourage every patient to attend a consultation where your dentist can examine your mouth, assess the options and provide an accurate, personalised quotation. This approach ensures that you receive a treatment plan that is both clinically appropriate and transparent in its pricing.
