Denture Cost in Toronto: What to Expect

What Are Dentures, and When Do You Need Them?

If you're missing several teeth, or your dentist has told you extraction is the best path forward, dentures are one of the most common ways we help patients get their bite and their smile back. At Lornview Dental, dentures come up constantly in conversations with patients dealing with advanced gum disease, years of untreated decay, or simply years of wear that have taken a toll on their teeth.

Dentures are removable replacement teeth, custom made to fit the shape of your mouth. Full dentures replace an entire arch, upper, lower, or both. Partial dentures fill in gaps when you still have healthy teeth remaining, and clip onto those teeth for support. Implant supported dentures attach to titanium implants placed in the jawbone, so they don't rely on suction or adhesive to stay put. The type you need has a direct effect on what you'll pay.

Denture Cost in Toronto: What You'll Actually Pay

Denture pricing in the GTA varies more than most patients expect, mostly because "dentures" covers several different treatments with very different price points. The table below gives you a general sense of what to budget. Your exact cost depends on your exam, the condition of your gums and jawbone, and the materials you choose.

Type	Average cost (per arch)	Best for	Typical timeline
Full dentures	$1,800 to $3,000	Patients missing all teeth in an arch	4 to 6 weeks
Partial dentures	$700 to $1,800	Patients with some healthy teeth remaining	3 to 5 weeks
Immediate dentures	$1,900 to $3,200	Patients who want teeth in place the day of extraction	Fitted same day, adjusted after healing
Implant supported dentures	$6,000 to $20,000+	Patients who want a denture that doesn't shift or click	3 to 6 months, includes healing time

What Affects the Cost of Your Dentures

A few factors move the price up or down for most patients we see:

• How many teeth need replacing, a full arch costs more than a partial

• The materials used, acrylic bases cost less than a cast metal partial framework

• Whether you need extractions before your dentures can be made

• Whether you're adding implants to anchor the denture in place

• Adjustments and relines in the months after your first fitting, as your gums settle

Are Dentures Covered by Insurance in Ontario?

OHIP does not cover dentures for adults. If you have private dental insurance through work or a personal plan, most Ontario plans cover a portion of denture costs under major restorative or prosthodontic benefits, often 50 to 60 percent up to your annual maximum. Before you commit to treatment, we'll check your coverage and give you a written estimate so there are no surprises when the bill arrives.

Dentures or Dental Implants? How to Decide

Dentures cost less upfront and don't require surgery, which makes them a practical choice for a lot of patients. Implants cost more but don't come out, don't shift when you eat, and help preserve the bone underneath your gums over time. If you're weighing the two, our guide on dental implants versus dentures walks through the tradeoffs in more detail. Some patients also compare dentures against a dental bridge, which replaces a smaller gap without a removable appliance.

Caring for Your New Dentures

New dentures take some getting used to, and a little care goes a long way toward making them last. Rinse them after eating, brush them daily with a denture brush, and soak them overnight so they don't dry out. Avoid very hot water, which can warp the material. Bring your dentures to your regular checkups so we can check the fit, since your gums continue to change shape for months after extraction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do full dentures cost in Toronto?

Full dentures in the GTA typically run $1,800 to $3,000 per arch, depending on the materials used and whether extractions are needed first. An exam is the only way to know your exact cost.

Are dentures covered by OHIP?

No. OHIP does not cover dentures for adults. Coverage depends on your private insurance plan, if you have one.

How long does it take to get dentures?

Conventional dentures typically take 4 to 6 weeks from your first impression to your final fitting. Immediate dentures can be placed the same day your teeth are removed, with adjustments made as your gums heal.

Can I switch from dentures to implants later?

In many cases, yes. If your jawbone is healthy enough, we can discuss adding implants to stabilize your existing denture or replacing it with an implant supported option.
