Aspen Dental is one of the largest denture providers in the country, with over 1,000 offices and on-site denture labs at most locations. But the pricing is layered, the tiers are confusing, and what gets added on top of the base price catches most patients off guard. This guide covers every denture option offered, what each one actually costs, how the process works, and everything worth knowing before your first appointment.

Before you call, before you drive over — these are the answers to the questions that come up first when families are shopping for dentures at Aspen Dental.
- 1 What is the cheapest denture option at Aspen Dental? The Basic denture starts at $499 per arch, but only if you purchase the Aspen Dental Savings Plan membership for $49 per year. Without the plan, the price is higher. The $499 covers one arch of the Basic denture only — it does not include extractions for any remaining teeth, the immediate (healing) denture worn while gums heal, a hard reline after healing, or any other preparatory care. Most patients getting a full set of Basic dentures (upper and lower) plus extractions end up spending significantly more than $998 total. Always request a written, all-in estimate before committing.
- 2 What are the four full denture tiers and what does each cost? Aspen Dental offers four full denture tiers, each at a different price and material quality, based on 2026 published data per arch: Basic starts at $499 (with Savings Plan); Classic ranges $871–$1,330; Signature ranges $1,295–$1,971; Signature Elite ranges $1,655–$2,391. Each step up provides better materials, more customization, and a more natural appearance. The Savings Plan’s 20% discount applies only to Signature and Signature Elite — not to Basic or Classic.
- 3 Does Aspen Dental accept Medicare or Medicaid for dentures? No to both. Aspen Dental does not accept Medicaid at any location, and it does not accept original Medicare Parts A and B. Original Medicare does not cover dentures under any standard circumstances — this is federal policy, not just Aspen’s. If you have a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan with dental benefits, Aspen may accept it — but verify your specific plan with the office before your visit. Medicare Advantage dental plans typically cap coverage at $1,000–$3,000 annually and often require a 50% coinsurance on dentures, with most plans only covering one new set every five years.
- 4 What is an immediate denture, and is it included in the denture price? An immediate denture (also called a healing denture) is a temporary set placed the same day as tooth extractions so you are never without teeth during the healing period. At Aspen Dental, immediate dentures are included in new denture-wearer packages as part of your treatment plan. After extractions, your gums will shrink and change shape during healing — a process that typically takes several weeks to months — so the immediate denture will not fit perfectly. Your permanent (final) denture is made once your gums have stabilized.
- 5 What is a denture reline and when do I need one? A reline reshapes the underside of your denture to better match your gums as your mouth changes over time — and it is almost always needed after getting new dentures. After extractions, your gum ridge shrinks and your immediate denture gradually becomes loose. A hard reline, typically done 3–6 months after extractions, adjusts the fit of your healing or final denture. Relines are billed as a separate charge from the denture itself. Aspen Dental’s on-site labs at most locations allow many relines to be completed the same day.
- 6 What does the Aspen Dental money-back guarantee actually cover? The Denture Money-Back Guarantee covers the cost of the permanent denture itself only — not extractions, relines, or other associated services. To use it, you must submit your refund request within 90 days of receiving your final denture or hard reline, and the denture must be physically returned within 90 days of that request. Aspen will typically attempt adjustments first before issuing a refund. The guarantee applies to all full and partial dentures. Get the specific terms confirmed in writing before your denture is placed.
- 7 Can Aspen Dental repair dentures I got somewhere else? Yes — Aspen Dental can evaluate and repair dentures from other providers, not just their own. Their on-site denture labs handle a range of repairs including cracks, broken teeth, loose teeth, and emergency relines. Repair costs run $49–$488 depending on the type and complexity of the damage, based on 2026 published data. Patients must arrive at least two hours before closing to be eligible for same-day repair. Not all damage can be fixed in-house — severely broken or warped dentures may require replacement.
- 8 How long does the full denture process take at Aspen Dental? The timeline depends entirely on your starting point. If you still have teeth to be extracted, the process typically spans several months: extractions are done, an immediate denture is placed the same day, your gums heal over roughly 4–8 weeks, a reline or new impressions are taken, and then the final denture is fabricated. If you are already edentulous (without teeth) and just need a new set, the process can be faster — a few appointments over a matter of weeks. Your Aspen Dental care team will outline a specific timeline after the initial exam.
Aspen Dental offers four full denture tiers. The differences are in materials, customization level, appearance, and longevity — not in basic function. All tiers are custom-made and backed by the money-back guarantee. Prices below are per arch (one full row of teeth — upper or lower) based on 2026 published data.
Every denture tier price covers the prosthetic only. Charges billed separately at every tier include: tooth extractions (average $104–$488 per tooth depending on complexity), the immediate healing denture (included in new denture-wearer packages but may have separate fees), a hard reline after your gums heal, follow-up adjustments beyond a set number, and the $49/year Savings Plan membership required for the Basic $499 price. Always request a full written treatment plan itemizing every charge before agreeing to anything.
The Basic denture is Aspen’s most affordable full denture option and the one featured in their headline advertising. The $499 per arch price requires purchasing the Aspen Dental Savings Plan membership at $49/year, and it applies to the denture prosthetic only. Basic dentures use standardized acrylic materials with a pre-set range of tooth shapes and shades. They function well as a starting solution and can be upgraded later if your budget or comfort needs change. The Savings Plan’s 20% denture discount does not apply to Basic — the $499 flat rate is a separate promotional price. For new denture-wearers, immediate dentures are included as part of the new denture-wearer package.
The Classic denture uses improved acrylic materials and better fitting techniques than the Basic tier, delivering a more comfortable everyday fit and a more natural appearance without reaching premium pricing. It represents the most commonly chosen tier for patients who want a reliable, functional denture at a mid-range price. Classic dentures are not eligible for the 20% Savings Plan discount — that applies only to Signature and Signature Elite. Ask your local Aspen office to confirm the current Classic price in your market, as the published range reflects location-based variation.
The Signature denture features enhanced durability and a more individualized fabrication process. Patients can choose from multiple tooth shades and gum shades, giving this tier a notably more natural look than Classic. The Savings Plan’s 20% discount applies at this tier, which can make a meaningful difference on the final price for members. The Signature is a good fit for patients who want aesthetics to feel natural in social settings without reaching the top-of-range price of the Elite option. Backed by Aspen’s money-back guarantee and a manufacturer warranty.
The Signature Elite is Aspen Dental’s most advanced full denture, designed for maximum personalization and the most natural appearance of any tier. Fabrication includes precision digital scanning, a wider selection of tooth shapes and shades (12 tooth shades and multiple gum color options), and an individually crafted fit that accounts for the specific contours of each patient’s mouth. The Signature Elite is the only Aspen Dental denture that carries a 7-year limited warranty, in addition to the standard 90-day money-back guarantee. The Savings Plan 20% discount applies at this tier as well.
If you are missing several teeth but still have healthy ones remaining, a partial denture fills the gaps while using those natural teeth for support. Aspen Dental offers two partial denture types, each with a different feel and design.
The Cast Partial uses a rigid metal framework (typically cobalt-chrome alloy) to anchor the prosthetic teeth. Metal clasps grip the adjacent natural teeth to hold the partial securely in place. Cast partials are highly durable, easy for dentists to repair, and hold their shape well over time. The visible metal clasps are the main trade-off — they can be seen when you smile widely, particularly if the partial replaces teeth near the front of the mouth. For back-of-mouth replacements where aesthetics matter less, the Cast Partial is a practical, long-lasting choice.
The Flexilytes Combo combines a flexible resin with a metal substructure for added stability. The key differentiator: the clasps are made from a flesh-colored flexible material that blends into your gum color instead of showing as visible metal. For patients replacing front-of-mouth teeth who want the clasps to be virtually invisible, the Flexilytes is the better-looking option. It is lighter and often more comfortable than a traditional metal-framework partial, though it may not be as easy to repair if damaged. Aspen uses digital scanning technology to create the fit, helping ensure the partial matches your mouth accurately.
A gap left by a missing tooth does more than affect your smile. The adjacent teeth will gradually shift and tilt into that empty space over time, which changes your bite, can cause jaw pain, and makes the remaining teeth more difficult to clean properly. A partial denture — or an implant, if your budget allows — prevents this drift. Waiting too long after teeth are removed makes fitting a partial more complicated and potentially more expensive, as shifted teeth change the space that needs to be filled.
Implant-supported dentures attach to titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone, providing significantly more stability than traditional removable dentures. Aspen Dental offers two implant denture options at different price points.
Implant dentures (also called snap-on or snap-in dentures) attach to 2–4 titanium implant posts placed in the jawbone, snapping securely into place. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and can shift while eating or talking, snap-on implant dentures stay anchored throughout the day. They are removed at night for cleaning, making them easier to maintain than fixed options. The implant posts also stimulate the jawbone, slowing the bone loss that occurs with tooth loss and traditional dentures over time. Aspen backs implant posts with a 25-year limited warranty and the snap-on prosthetic with a 7-year limited warranty.
Fixed full-arch implants are permanently attached to 4–6 implant posts and cannot be removed by the patient. They function and feel much more like natural teeth than any removable option — you brush them in place, eat with them normally, and do not remove them at night. This is the most expensive denture option Aspen offers, typically requiring financing. The process spans several months across multiple appointments: extraction and bone prep, implant placement and osseointegration (healing period for implants to fuse with bone), and then final restoration. If both arches are treated, the total can reach $40,000 or more before additional preparatory procedures.
The upfront cost gap between traditional dentures and implant dentures is large — but the long-term picture is more nuanced. Traditional dentures typically need relining every few years and replacing every 7–10 years as your jawbone shrinks (a process called resorption). Implant posts actually prevent bone resorption by stimulating the jawbone the way natural tooth roots do. For patients who are expected to need dentures for 15 or more years, the lifetime cost of traditional dentures with relines and replacements can approach that of implant-supported options, while the comfort and function gap between them is significant. Your Aspen Dental dentist can discuss which option fits your specific bone density, health situation, and budget.

The biggest source of confusion — and frustration — for first-time denture patients is not understanding the timeline and the multiple phases involved. Here is what to expect, step by step.
Your first appointment includes a comprehensive oral exam and X-rays (the $29 new-patient offer applies for uninsured patients). The dentist assesses which teeth can be saved and which need to be extracted, evaluates bone density, and determines what preparatory care is needed. You receive a written, itemized treatment plan that lists every procedure and its cost before any work begins. This is your financial roadmap — read every line and ask questions about anything that is unclear.
When your teeth are extracted, an immediate denture is placed in your mouth the same day so you are never without teeth during the healing period. This healing denture is pre-fabricated to approximate the size and shape of your mouth based on impressions taken beforehand. It also acts as a bandage to protect your gums during healing. Because it is placed before your gums have fully healed, it will not fit perfectly — some looseness and soreness during this phase is normal. You will likely need to use denture adhesive during this time.
After extractions, gum tissue heals and the underlying bone remodels — a process that causes the ridge to shrink and change shape. Most of this change happens within the first 4–8 weeks, but continued minor changes can occur for up to 6 months or longer. During this phase, your Aspen Dental team will see you for adjustments. This is why the immediate denture you receive on extraction day will not be the same denture you wear long-term — it is temporary by design.
Once your gums have stabilized, new impressions are taken to create your final denture — or, depending on your treatment plan tier, the immediate denture is hard-relined (adjusted internally) to match your healed gum shape. This final fitting is when your permanent denture is placed. Follow-up adjustments are normal during the weeks after — it can take time for your mouth muscles to adapt. The 90-day money-back guarantee clock starts when your final denture is inserted, giving you a window to request a refund if significant issues arise that cannot be resolved.
If you already have dentures and just need replacements, the process is considerably faster — no extractions needed, no healing period. Aspen Dental takes impressions or digital scans of your mouth, your new denture is fabricated (often within a few days to a couple of weeks using their on-site labs), and you come in for a fitting. Adjustments are made at that visit and subsequent ones. Replacement dentures start at $499/arch with the Savings Plan, same pricing structure as new dentures. Bring your current dentures to the initial appointment so the dentist can assess your current fit, function, and any bone changes since the original set was made.
Most patients without full coverage use a combination of these options. Here is what each one actually means in practice.
Original Medicare Parts A and B do not cover dentures under any standard circumstance — this is federal law and applies regardless of which dentist you see. Aspen Dental also does not accept Medicaid at any location. These two facts eliminate two of the most commonly assumed payment sources for seniors. If you have a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan with dental benefits, that is different — about 97–98% of Medicare Advantage plans include some dental coverage as of recent data, and many cover dentures, though typically at 50% coinsurance with an annual cap of $1,000–$3,000 and only once every five years. Verify your specific plan’s denture benefit at your local Aspen office before scheduling.
Aspen Dental accepts most major dental insurance plans including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, Humana, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, and Anthem. Dentures are typically classified as a major restorative service under most dental plans, covered at 50% after your annual deductible — subject to your plan’s annual maximum. Most plans have maximums of $1,000–$2,000, which may not cover the full cost of a premium denture. Plans also commonly include a waiting period of 6–12 months before covering major work. Always verify your specific plan’s denture benefit before your first appointment — Aspen’s team can check your benefits at the office.
The Aspen Dental Savings Plan is a discount membership, not insurance. At $49 per year, it provides free exams and X-rays and saves up to 30% on most services. For dentures specifically: it enables the $499 Basic price per arch, and it applies a 20% discount to Signature and Signature Elite tiers. The Classic tier is excluded from the 20% discount. For a patient choosing Signature Elite at an average of $2,000/arch, the 20% discount saves $400 per arch — far more than the $49 annual membership cost. The plan has no waiting period, so you can enroll and use it the same day.
Aspen Dental partners with CareCredit, American First Finance, Proceed Finance, HFD, and Fortiva Retail Credit. Aspen reports that 99% of patients who apply are approved. Many offers include a promotional interest-free period. Pay close attention to deferred-interest terms — if you carry any balance past the end of the promotional window, you can be charged interest on the entire original amount retroactively, not just the remaining balance. On a $2,000 denture bill, this can mean hundreds of dollars in unexpected charges. Know exactly when your promotional period ends and set a reminder to pay off the balance before that date.
Call your nearest Aspen Dental office immediately and explain you have a broken denture that needs same-day repair. Most Aspen locations have on-site denture labs and can handle cracks, broken teeth, and emergency relines the same day — provided you arrive at least two hours before closing. Bring both pieces of the broken denture, as even severely broken dentures may be repairable in-office. Repair costs run $49–$488 per repair procedure code — the total depends on what needs to be done. If your denture is beyond repair, the dentist will let you know and can discuss replacement options at the same appointment.
Start with a no-obligation consultation. Since no extractions are needed, the process is simpler — impressions are taken, a try-in appointment may be scheduled, and your dentures are fabricated. Without extractions, the healing-denture phase does not apply, so the timeline is shorter. The key decision is tier: Basic ($499 with Savings Plan) is a sensible starting point if budget is the priority; Signature Elite ($1,655–$2,391) is worth the higher cost if appearance matters to you in everyday social situations. Ask the dentist what they would recommend based on your bone ridge condition — a thinner or flatter ridge makes fit harder regardless of tier.
This is the most complex and most expensive denture path, because extractions are billed separately from the denture itself. The total all-in cost includes: your extractions (average $104–$488 per tooth), the immediate (healing) denture, a hard reline 3–6 months later, and the final denture. Get a written estimate for all of these line items together before you agree to anything, not just the denture price. The difference between the “starting at $499” headline and the real total-out-of-pocket can be substantial for patients who need several teeth removed first.
Your three most practical options are the Aspen Dental Savings Plan ($49/year), third-party financing through CareCredit or similar, and checking your Medicare Advantage plan if you have one. If you do not have Medicare Advantage and are considering it, dental benefits have become a significant differentiator between plans — some now offer $1,500–$2,000 in annual dental coverage. You can also look into dental schools near you through ADEA.org, which offer dentures and other restorative work performed by supervised students at significantly reduced cost. Federally qualified health centers (findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov) also provide dental care on a sliding-scale fee based on income.
Implant dentures (snap-on) provide dramatically better stability than traditional removable dentures at roughly 10–26 times the cost of a Basic denture. The right answer depends on your bone density (poor bone may require grafting first, adding cost), your overall health (implant placement is a surgical procedure), and your budget. Your dentist can tell you at your first consultation whether your jawbone is a good candidate for implants — not everyone is. If bone density is sufficient and cost is manageable with financing, snap-on implant dentures represent a quality-of-life improvement that many patients say is worth every dollar. Ask specifically about the minimum number of implants needed for your lower jaw (often 2) vs. upper jaw (often 4), since fewer implants mean lower total cost.
Call your office right away — do not wait out the 90-day money-back guarantee window without taking action. Aspen Dental will attempt adjustments and relines first to try to resolve fit issues. If you are still not satisfied after adjustments within 90 days of your final denture or hard reline insertion, you can request a refund. The refund covers the cost of the permanent denture only — not extractions or other associated care. The denture must be physically returned to the office within 90 days of the refund request date. If your 90-day window has not expired, act now. If it has, speak with the office manager about what additional options exist.
