Standard acrylic dentures last 5–8 years. Premium dentures with high-quality teeth and reinforced bases can last 10 years with proper care.
Implant-supported dentures (snap-in overdentures) cost 3–5× more up front but prevent bone loss and provide a much more secure fit.
Jamaica Plain and Dorchester typically run 8% below the Boston metro average for dentures. These areas have lower commercial rents, which clinics pass on in fees.
