Quick answer: Partial dentures in Kolkata are priced per tooth, starting at INR 1,500 per tooth for acrylic and INR 2,700 per tooth for flexible. Complete dentures range from INR 16,000 to INR 45,000 depending on the material. A typical three-tooth flexible partial works out to around INR 8,100.
Denture Cost in Kolkata: Full Price List for 2026
Denture pricing confuses people more than almost any other dental treatment, and there is a straightforward reason for it. Partial dentures are priced per tooth, not per denture. So a quoted figure of INR 2,700 is not the cost of your denture. It is the cost of one tooth on it.
This guide sets out what dentures in Kolkata actually cost in 2026, with worked examples so you can estimate your own case before walking in.

Denture Cost in Kolkata at a Glance
| Type of Denture | Starting Cost (INR) | Priced By |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic partial denture (RPD) | INR 1,500 per tooth | Number of teeth replaced |
| Flexible partial denture | INR 2,700 per tooth | Number of teeth replaced |
| Complete denture | INR 16,000 to INR 45,000 | Per arch, by material |
| Full CD acrylic | INR 30,000 | Per set |
| Sameflexible | INR 50,000 | Per set |
| Dental plate | INR 800 | Per plate |
All figures are starting prices. The exact quote is confirmed after examination, since the number of teeth, the condition of the remaining teeth and the gum ridge all affect it.
Partial Dentures Are Priced Per Tooth. Here Is What That Means
A removable partial denture replaces some missing teeth while your natural teeth stay in place. Because every case replaces a different number of teeth, the price is quoted per tooth and multiplied up.
| Teeth Replaced | Acrylic RPD at INR 1,500 per tooth | Flexible RPD at INR 2,700 per tooth |
|---|---|---|
| 1 tooth | INR 1,500 | INR 2,700 |
| 2 teeth | INR 3,000 | INR 5,400 |
| 3 teeth | INR 4,500 | INR 8,100 |
| 4 teeth | INR 6,000 | INR 10,800 |
| 6 teeth | INR 9,000 | INR 16,200 |
This is worth understanding before you compare quotes between clinics. A clinic advertising "partial dentures from INR 1,500" and one advertising "partial dentures from INR 9,000" may be charging exactly the same rate, with one quoting per tooth and the other quoting a six-tooth case.
Always ask two questions: is this per tooth or for the whole denture, and how many teeth is the quote based on.
Complete Dentures
A complete denture replaces every tooth in an arch, and is used when no natural teeth remain in the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both.
Complete dentures at Teeth Care range from INR 16,000 to INR 45,000, with the position in that range set by the material and the finish. The clinic rate list also carries two specific products, Full CD acrylic at INR 30,000 and Sameflexible at INR 50,000, which your dentist will explain at consultation if either suits your case.
Two arches means two dentures. A patient needing both upper and lower complete dentures pays for each.
Types of Dentures Explained
Acrylic partial denture
An acrylic base holding the replacement teeth, held in place by metal clasps that grip the neighbouring natural teeth. The most affordable option at INR 1,500 per tooth. Sturdy and easy to adjust or add to later if you lose more teeth. The clasps can be visible depending on where they sit.
Flexible partial denture
A nylon-based denture with no metal clasps. It flexes slightly to grip the gum and the surrounding teeth, which makes it more comfortable and far less visible. At INR 2,700 per tooth it costs roughly 80% more than acrylic.
The trade-off is that flexible dentures are harder to reline or repair, so damage often means remaking rather than fixing.
Cast partial denture
A metal framework, usually cobalt-chrome, with acrylic and teeth attached. Thinner and stronger than acrylic, and it distributes chewing force better across the remaining teeth. Priced case by case.
Complete denture
A full arch replacement resting on the gum ridge, held by suction on the upper and by fit and muscle control on the lower. Lower complete dentures are always less stable than upper ones, simply because the tongue is in the way and there is less surface area for suction.
Implant-supported denture
A denture that clips onto two or more dental implants rather than resting on the gum. Considerably more stable, and it prevents the jawbone shrinkage that happens under a conventional denture. Costs more upfront and is quoted separately.
What Changes the Price
- Number of teeth being replaced. The main driver for partials, since pricing is per tooth.
- Material. Acrylic, flexible nylon and cast metal sit at different price points.
- Preparation work. Extractions, gum treatment or fillings on the supporting teeth are billed separately and may be needed first.
- Quality of the teeth used. Standard acrylic teeth cost less than higher-grade teeth with more natural translucency and better wear resistance.
- Number of fitting visits. A well-fitted denture takes several appointments. Rushing this is where poorly fitting dentures come from.
- Upper, lower, or both. Each arch is priced separately.
Dentures, Bridges or Implants: Cost Over Ten Years
Upfront price and long-term cost are not the same thing. Dentures are the cheapest to start and the most expensive to maintain.
| Partial Denture | Bridge | Implant | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost (3 teeth) | INR 4,500 to 8,100 | Quoted per unit | From INR 35,000 per implant |
| Removable | Yes | No | No |
| Neighbouring teeth affected | Clasps rest on them | They are filed down | Untouched |
| Prevents bone loss | No | No | Yes |
| Typical lifespan | 5 to 8 years | 10 to 15 years | 15 to 25 years or more |
| Relines or replacement needed | Every 2 to 4 years | Rarely | Rarely |
| Chewing efficiency | 25 to 50% of natural | Close to natural | Close to natural |
Dentures remain the right answer for many people, particularly where multiple teeth are missing across the arch, where bone volume rules out implants, or where budget is the deciding factor. Our comparison of implants versus dentures goes into the decision in more detail.
How Long Does It Take to Get Dentures?
| Visit | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1 | Examination, X-rays, treatment plan and cost confirmed |
| 2 | Impressions of the jaw taken |
| 3 | Bite registration and shade selection |
| 4 | Trial fitting in wax, adjustments marked |
| 5 | Final denture fitted and adjusted |
| Follow-up | Review after a week for sore spots |
Expect 2 to 4 weeks from first appointment to final fitting. If extractions are needed first, the gums need 6 to 8 weeks to heal and settle before impressions can be taken, so the overall timeline extends.
An immediate denture can be fitted on the day of extraction so you are never without teeth, but it will need relining once healing is complete, since the gum ridge changes shape.
Adjusting to New Dentures
The first few weeks are an adjustment for everybody. What is normal:
- Increased saliva for the first few days
- A feeling of bulk, particularly on the upper denture
- Sore spots where the denture presses. These are adjusted at the follow-up visit, and are not something to endure quietly
- Difficulty with certain sounds for a week or two. Reading aloud speeds this up considerably
- Reduced chewing efficiency at first. Start with soft food cut small, chew on both sides at once, and build up
What is not normal is persistent pain, bleeding, or a denture that will not stay in place. Those need an appointment, not patience.
Relining and Replacement
Your jawbone changes shape after teeth are lost. It shrinks gradually, which means a denture that fitted perfectly two years ago will eventually feel loose. This is expected and is not a fault in the denture.
- Relining adds material to the fitting surface to match the changed ridge. Usually needed every 2 to 4 years.
- Replacement becomes necessary every 5 to 8 years as the teeth wear and the fit moves beyond what relining can correct.
Denture adhesive is a stopgap, not a solution. If you are relying on it daily, the denture needs relining.
Caring for Your Dentures
Good care meaningfully extends how long a denture lasts:
- Rinse after every meal
- Brush daily with a soft denture brush and mild soap or denture cleaner, not regular toothpaste, which is too abrasive
- Clean over a folded towel or a basin of water so a drop does not crack them
- Soak overnight in water or denture solution, never in hot water, which warps the shape
- Clean your gums and tongue with a soft brush each morning
- Keep six-monthly checkups even with no natural teeth remaining, so fit and gum health are monitored
Our detailed guides cover the right way to clean dentures, ten maintenance tips, and which foods to avoid.
Will They Look Obvious?
This is the question most people are actually asking, whatever they say out loud.
Modern dentures are shade-matched to your remaining teeth, or to your natural colouring where none remain, and the gum-coloured base is matched to your own gum tone. Flexible partials have no metal clasps at all, which removes the most recognisable giveaway.
What makes a denture look artificial is usually teeth that are too uniform, too white, or too perfectly aligned. A small amount of natural irregularity looks more convincing. Say so at the shade selection appointment. We cover this in more depth in do dentures look fake.

Partial dentures start at INR 1,500 per tooth for acrylic and INR 2,700 per tooth for flexible. Complete dentures run INR 16,000 to INR 45,000. For most people replacing two or three teeth, that lands somewhere between INR 3,000 and INR 8,100.
The number that matters is the one for your case, and it depends entirely on how many teeth you are replacing and what the supporting teeth and gums look like. That takes one appointment to establish, and the quote should be in writing before anything is made.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a denture cost in Kolkata?
At Teeth Care Multispeciality Dental Clinic, acrylic partial dentures start at INR 1,500 per tooth and flexible partial dentures at INR 2,700 per tooth. Complete dentures range from INR 16,000 to INR 45,000. All are starting prices confirmed after examination.
Why are partial dentures priced per tooth?
Because every case replaces a different number of teeth. A one-tooth denture uses far less material and lab work than a six-tooth one. Pricing per tooth keeps it proportionate. It also means you should always ask whether a quoted figure is per tooth or for the complete denture, since the difference can be several times over.
How much does a 3 tooth partial denture cost?
Around INR 4,500 for acrylic and INR 8,100 for flexible, at the starting rates of INR 1,500 and INR 2,700 per tooth. The final figure depends on the condition of the supporting teeth and whether any preparation work is needed first.
What is the difference between acrylic and flexible dentures?
Acrylic dentures use a rigid base with metal clasps gripping the neighbouring teeth, and cost INR 1,500 per tooth. Flexible dentures use a nylon base with no metal clasps, which makes them more comfortable and much less visible, at INR 2,700 per tooth. Acrylic is easier to repair and adjust later, flexible usually needs remaking if damaged.
How long do dentures last?
Typically 5 to 8 years before replacement. They will need relining every 2 to 4 years along the way, because the jawbone gradually changes shape after teeth are lost and the fit loosens. That is normal and not a fault in the denture.
How long does it take to get dentures made?
Usually 2 to 4 weeks across four or five appointments, covering impressions, bite registration, a wax trial fitting and the final fit. If extractions are needed first, allow 6 to 8 weeks of healing before impressions, which extends the overall timeline.
Do dentures hurt?
Sore spots in the first week or two are common as the gum adapts to the pressure. These are adjusted at the follow-up visit and should not be tolerated quietly. Ongoing pain, bleeding or a denture that will not stay in place all need an appointment rather than patience.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Not immediately. Chewing efficiency with a complete denture is roughly 25 to 50% of natural teeth. Start with soft food cut into small pieces, chew on both sides at once to keep the denture stable, and build up over a few weeks. Very hard, sticky and stringy foods stay difficult long term.
Are dentures or implants better?
Implants are more stable, chew far better and prevent the jawbone shrinkage that happens under a denture, but cost from INR 35,000 per implant. Dentures cost much less upfront and suit cases with multiple missing teeth, insufficient bone, or a tighter budget. An implant-supported denture sits between the two.
Do dentures look fake?
Not if they are shade-matched properly. Modern dentures match both tooth colour and gum tone, and flexible partials have no visible metal clasps at all. What tends to look artificial is teeth that are too white or too perfectly uniform, so ask for a small amount of natural irregularity at the shade selection appointment.
Should I remove my dentures at night?
Yes, in most cases. Leaving them out overnight lets the gum tissue recover from the pressure and reduces the risk of fungal infection. Soak them in water or a denture solution, never in hot water, which warps the shape.
