How Much Do Dentures Cost in Auckland? A 2025 Guide
If you’re exploring your options for dentures in Auckland, one of the first questions you’re likely asking is: “How much do dentures cost?” The answer depends on several factors including the type of denture, materials used, and the level of customization needed.
At Clinical Smiles, we’re committed to being transparent and upfront about denture pricing — without compromising on quality or care. Here’s what you need to know about costs in 2025.
Average Denture Costs in Auckland (2025)

Partial Acrylic Dentures - $850 – $1,800

What Affects the Price?
Material Type
The materials used play a big role in the overall cost. Metal framework dentures, often made from cobalt-chrome, are strong, durable, and fit precisely — but they tend to cost more. Acrylic dentures are generally more affordable but may need replacing sooner. Flexible dentures, such as Valplast, offer excellent comfort and a natural appearance, making them popular for aesthetic reasons, though they can also come at a higher price point.
Full vs Partial Dentures
Costs don’t always depend on whether the denture is full or partial — it’s more about the complexity and materials involved. A metal or flexible partial denture can easily cost more than a full acrylic denture. Each case is unique, and pricing reflects the level of work and precision required.
Level of Customisation
Highly customised dentures are designed for superior fit, comfort, and natural appearance. Extra detail in tooth shape, gum tinting, and bite alignment all require additional clinical and laboratory time, which can increase the cost — but also result in a more natural, longer-lasting result.
Urgency or Same-Day Service
If you require a denture repair or replacement at short notice, same-day or express services can be an excellent option. These cases are prioritised ahead of regular work and often involve extra laboratory time, so they usually come with an additional fee.
Local Tip: Watch Out for Hidden Costs
Some clinics advertise low starting prices but add extra fees later for fittings, adjustments, or follow-up visits. When comparing quotes, make sure you understand what’s included in the price.
At Clinical Smiles, we provide clear, upfront pricing that covers all essential adjustments and aftercare — so you know exactly what to expect.
Are there payment options or financial aid?
Yes. Some patients may qualify for WINZ quotes, ACC claims, or health insurance reimbursements.
At our clinic we are happy to assist with the paperwork and give you an estimate for funding approval.
Q Card payment options are also available.
