First visit: exam, impressions, and (if needed) extractions. A wax model is tried in for fit and bite before the final denture is fabricated. Implant-supported overdentures add a surgical visit and a healing period before the denture is attached to the implants.
Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth with an acrylic or flexible base holding artificial teeth. A full denture replaces an entire arch when no natural teeth remain; a partial denture fills gaps while clipping onto your remaining natural teeth. Dentures are typically the lowest-cost way to replace multiple missing teeth, though they don't preserve jaw bone the way an implant does.
For patients who want more stability than a traditional denture offers, an implant-supported overdenture anchors the same removable plate to 2–4 implants — a middle ground between a conventional denture and a fully fixed solution like All-on-4.
Both replace missing teeth, but they differ in cost, permanence, and how they affect your jawbone over time. Tijuana offers significant savings on both.
Bottom line
If budget or a desire to avoid surgery is the priority, a denture is a reasonable, time-tested solution. If a permanently fixed result and long-term bone preservation matter more, an implant-supported option — anywhere from a single implant to a full All-on-4 arch — is generally preferred. An implant-supported overdenture is a practical middle ground when a fully fixed arch isn't in the budget. See our dental implants page for the full comparison.
A full denture costs $1,400–$2,000 in the US. The same denture — same acrylic or flexible base material, same dental laboratory process — typically costs $500–$700 in Tijuana. The gap comes from Mexico's lower operating costs: lower real estate, lower malpractice insurance, lower staff overhead. The clinical work and materials are equivalent.
Many established Tijuana clinics fabricate dentures in their own in-house laboratory or work with the same type of dental technicians used at US practices, which can also shorten turnaround time between visits.

Replaces every tooth on an arch when no natural teeth remain. Rests directly on the gums, held in place by suction and, if needed, denture adhesive.
Tijuana (per arch)
$500–$700
US (per arch)
$1,400–$2,000
Best for: Patients missing all teeth on an arch who want the lowest-cost, no-surgery option.
Fills gaps from several missing teeth while clipping onto your remaining natural teeth with small metal or acrylic clasps. A removable alternative to a fixed bridge when the missing teeth aren't consecutive.
Tijuana (per arch)
$400–$700
US (per arch)
$1,000–$2,000
Best for: Patients with several missing teeth in non-consecutive positions who still have healthy remaining teeth.
Uses a thin, pliable base material instead of rigid acrylic, with smaller or no visible clasps. More comfortable for some patients, though typically harder to reline or repair than a traditional acrylic partial.
Tijuana (per arch)
$500–$800
US (per arch)
$1,200–$2,200
Best for: Patients who want a more discreet, comfortable partial and don't mind the higher reline cost down the line.
Placed the same day as tooth extraction so you never go without teeth. It's a simpler, temporary appliance — measured and fabricated in advance from impressions taken before extraction — which makes it the lowest-cost denture type. It's typically adjusted or relined, or replaced by a conventional denture, a few months later as your gums and bone heal.
Tijuana (per arch)
$250–$450
US (per arch)
$900–$1,600
Best for: Patients having teeth extracted who don't want to go without teeth during healing, or anyone wanting the lowest-cost option while deciding on a permanent solution.
A removable denture that snaps onto 2–4 implants instead of resting loosely on the gums — far more stable than a conventional denture, at a lower cost than a fully fixed arch like All-on-4.
Tijuana — 2 implants (per arch)
$2,500–$4,000
Tijuana — 4 implants (per arch)
$4,500–$7,000
US equivalent (2 implants)
$6,000–$12,000
US equivalent (4 implants)
$12,000–$20,000
Best for: Patients already wearing a loose denture who want more stability without the cost of a fully fixed All-on-4/6 arch.
Denture pricing depends on the type (full, partial, flexible, immediate, or implant-supported) and, for overdentures, how many implants anchor the plate. For a broader look at what dental work costs across Tijuana, see our 2026 Tijuana dental cost guide.

Your dentist examines your gums and any remaining teeth, takes impressions or a digital scan, and discusses which denture type fits your situation and budget. If extractions are needed first, these are typically done at this visit or scheduled just before.
A wax model of the denture is tried in your mouth to check fit, bite, and the appearance of the teeth before the final version is fabricated. This is your chance to request adjustments to tooth shade or shape.
The final denture is fitted and adjusted for comfort. For implant-supported overdentures, this step happens after a separate implant surgery visit and a 3–6 month healing period, once the attachment components are added.

To maximize denture lifespan:
Yes — dentures are one of the most established and lowest-risk procedures in dentistry. For conventional dentures, the main factor is fit quality and the dental laboratory fabricating the plate. For implant-supported overdentures, the same surgical safety factors apply as for any implant procedure.

A full denture (replacing an entire arch) typically costs $500–$700 at researched Tijuana clinics, compared to $1,400–$2,000 in the US. An immediate denture — the temporary version fitted the same day as extractions — is typically the cheapest option at $250–$450. A partial denture typically runs $400–$700, and an implant-supported overdenture — a denture anchored to 2–4 implants — typically runs $2,500–$7,000 depending on the number of implants. These are estimated ranges; final cost is confirmed after a consultation.
A full denture replaces every tooth on an arch and is used when no natural teeth remain. A partial denture fills the gaps left by some missing teeth while clipping onto your remaining natural teeth — it's a removable alternative to a fixed bridge when several teeth are missing in different areas of the mouth.
Flexible (or flexible partial) dentures use a thin, pliable base material instead of rigid acrylic. They're lighter, more comfortable for some patients, and have smaller or no visible metal clasps, but they can be harder to reline or repair than a traditional acrylic partial. Ask your clinic whether a flexible base is appropriate for your specific gap.
An immediate denture is placed the same day as tooth extraction, so you never go without teeth. It's fitted using measurements and impressions taken before extraction. Because your gums and bone reshape during healing, an immediate denture typically needs adjusting or relining a few months later, and may eventually be replaced with a conventional denture once healing is complete.
An implant-supported overdenture is a removable denture that snaps onto 2–4 implants placed in the jaw, instead of resting loosely on the gums. It's far more stable than a traditional denture — no slipping, no adhesive — at a lower cost than a fully fixed solution like All-on-4, because it still comes out for cleaning rather than being permanently attached. Compare it with the fixed, non-removable option on our All-on-4 page.
It depends on budget, bone health, and how much you value a fixed (non-removable) result. A single implant replaces one tooth permanently without touching the others. Dentures cost less upfront, require no surgery for the traditional versions, and can replace an entire arch at once. Many patients start with a denture and move to implants or an overdenture later as budget allows. See our dental implants page for a full cost and process comparison.
A conventional full or partial denture typically lasts 5–8 years before the fit changes enough to need a reline or replacement, as your jawbone and gums naturally reshape over time. Implant-supported overdentures last longer — the implants themselves can last 15–20+ years, though the denture attachment clips wear and are usually replaced every 1–2 years.
A conventional denture typically takes 2–3 visits over 1–2 weeks: an initial exam and impressions, a wax try-in to check fit and bite, and final delivery. An implant-supported overdenture requires an additional surgical visit for implant placement, followed by a 3–6 month healing period before the denture is attached — most patients plan this as two separate trips.
Quality depends on the acrylic or flexible base material and the dental laboratory fabricating the denture, not the country. Established Tijuana clinics use the same denture materials and digital or traditional impression techniques as US practices. The savings reflect Tijuana's lower overhead, not lower-grade materials — ask your clinic which lab fabricates their dentures before booking.
