How much do dentures cost in the UK?

At Toothi London, a partial denture costs from £595 and a complete denture costs from £995 per arch. An implant-retained denture, held in place by 2 to 4 implants, is £7,995 per arch. On the NHS in England, dentures fall under Band 3, which is £332.10 for the course of treatment. Here is what affects the price of false teeth, the different types and how NHS and private dentures compare.

Our denture prices are published on our fees page. After an assessment, your dentist will recommend the type that suits your mouth and confirm the price in writing.

An arch means the upper or lower jaw. If you need dentures for both, each arch is priced separately. Partial dentures replace one or several missing teeth while you still have some natural teeth; complete dentures replace all the teeth in an arch.

Toothi is a fully private practice and does not provide NHS treatment. These are the official NHS charges in England from 1 April 2026.

The NHS Band 3 charge covers the whole course of treatment, including the denture and the appointments to make it. NHS dentures are designed to meet clinical need and many people wear them comfortably for years. Private denture prices vary between practices, so compare published price lists if you are deciding.

• ✓  Acrylic dentures. Made from a gum-coloured acrylic base with acrylic teeth. They can be used for partial or complete dentures, are relatively quick to make and are easy to add teeth to later if needed.
• ✓  Chrome (cobalt chrome) partial dentures. Built on a thin, strong metal framework that clips to your natural teeth. They are usually less bulky than acrylic and can feel more stable. Read more about chrome dentures.
• ✓  Complete dentures. Replace all the teeth in an arch. Upper dentures rely on suction against the palate; lower dentures can be harder to keep steady because of the tongue and smaller ridge.
• ✓  Implant-retained dentures. Clip on to 2 to 4 dental implants, which can make them much more secure, particularly for the lower jaw. See our page on implant-retained dentures.

• ✓  Partial or complete. Complete dentures replace a full arch; partial dentures vary with how many teeth are replaced.
• ✓  Material. A chrome framework involves more laboratory work than an all-acrylic design.
• ✓  Your mouth. The shape of your gums and remaining teeth affects design and the number of fitting visits.
• ✓  Preparatory treatment. Some people need fillings, extractions or gum treatment first. That is priced separately.
• ✓  Implant support. An implant-retained denture includes the implants as well as the denture itself.

The denture price covers the impressions, laboratory work, try-in and fitting, plus adjustments around the time of fitting. Most conventional dentures take several appointments over a few weeks.

Dentures usually feel strange at first. Most people adapt to speaking and eating with them over a few weeks.

It varies. Many dentures last several years, but the gums and bone underneath change shape over time, so a denture that fitted well at first can become loose. At that point it may need a reline, where the fitting surface is rebuilt, or replacing. Repairs and relines are quoted in writing after assessment. Regular check-ups let us spot fit problems and sore spots early.

NHS dentures meet clinical need at a set charge and suit many people well. Some choose private dentures to have more input into the design and appearance, to choose a chrome framework, to have more appointment time, or to consider implant-retained options that are not usually available on the NHS.

Dentures are one of several ways to replace missing teeth. Our comparison of implants, dentures and bridges sets out the trade-offs so you can decide what suits you.
