Conventional and implant-supported denture options

A conventional denture rests on the gums. A removable implant denture attaches to implants placed in the jaw, which gives it more stability than gum support alone. Both are generally removable for cleaning.

A fixed implant-supported alternative stays in place during daily use. These categories describe different ways replacement teeth may be supported; they do not establish which option is available or suitable for a particular patient.

What affects the cost of dentures?

The first cost difference is the type of treatment being considered: a conventional denture, an implant-supported denture, or fixed implant-supported replacement teeth. Those options are planned differently and should not be compared as though they were the same treatment.

For implant-supported treatment, cost can also depend on whether one arch or both arches are treated, the number of implants and attachment design, whether an existing denture can be adapted or a new restoration is required, and any additional care identified after assessment.

Published implant denture fees

Sunset Dental Centre’s published starting fees for Implant Dentures are $14,995 for a single arch and $29,990 for a double arch. These are Implant Denture fees, not conventional-denture prices or a universal full-mouth treatment price.

The published figures are starting points. An assessment is required to confirm whether implant-supported treatment may be suitable, what the individual plan involves, and the final cost.

How to choose between denture options

When comparing denture choices, start with how much stability you need and whether you prefer a restoration that is removable or stays in place. A conventional denture rests on the gums, while a snap-in style implant denture attaches to implants for added stability. Both are generally removed for cleaning. Permanent Teeth is Sunset Dental Centre’s fixed implant-supported option and stays in place during daily use.

The best fit also depends on your oral condition, the findings from an examination and imaging, and treatment planning for the arch being treated. Budget is part of the decision, but published fees apply only to the treatment category described. Fixed treatment is not better for everyone. The fixed-versus-removable denture guide explores the daily differences, while full-mouth dental implant planning may include fixed or removable options for one or both arches.

Are implant dentures more affordable than fixed implant-supported teeth?

Cost depends on the treatment plan. Removable Implant Dentures and fixed implant-supported Permanent Teeth are different treatment categories, so their fees do not cover the same treatment. Sunset Dental Centre’s published starting fees are $14,995 for a single-arch Implant Denture and $29,990 for a double arch. For fixed Permanent Teeth with zirconia restorations, the published starting fees are $19,995 for a single arch and $38,000 for a double arch when paid upfront. These figures apply only to the treatments described, not every case; final suitability and cost are confirmed after an assessment.

Questions to ask when comparing denture costs

Ask which type of restoration is being proposed, whether the plan covers one arch or both, and how implant number or attachment design affects the recommendation. If you already wear a denture, ask whether it can be adapted or whether a new restoration would be required.

Ask what the quoted fee includes, whether additional care may be needed, and what daily cleaning involves. A useful comparison is based on the complete proposed plan rather than a headline figure for a different type of denture.

Discussing denture options in Greely, Ottawa

Sunset Dental Centre is located in Greely within Ottawa. The clinic can confirm which denture and implant-supported options are available when you book an appointment; this article does not represent conventional complete or partial dentures as a service offered by the clinic.

When the discussion involves implant-supported full-arch treatment, Dr. Robert Liu has documented training in full-arch All-on-X surgical placement and reconstruction. That training does not determine whether implant-supported treatment is suitable for an individual patient; suitability is confirmed through assessment.
