A full set of upper and lower dentures is estimated at $4,215 in Oklahoma, a partial denture at $2,529, a porcelain crown at $1,822, a molar root canal at $1,275 and a checkup with cleaning and X-rays at $270, in September 2026 dollars before any plan. The fees come from the SoonerCare dental fee schedule of January 1, 2024, in force through 2024, which gives one column for patients up to age 20 and one for adults. The ADA's 2024 study found Oklahoma among the states where Medicaid paid adult dental care relatively well: 45.2 % of dentists' charges, against 29.9 % nationally, and 65.6 % of private plan payments. Where the adult column is blank, the children's fee and ratio are used together.
Two columns, and blanks in the adult one
The SoonerCare dental fee schedule of January 1, 2024 lists a children's rate and an adult rate for each code. A blank adult rate means the service is not covered for adults, and 17 of the 55 codes read here are in that case, among them crowns and root canals. For those procedures the estimate divides the children's fee by the children's ratio, 38.0 %, so fee and ratio describe the same patients. Dentures, extractions and cleanings have an adult rate and use the adult ratio.
The current edition, dated January 1, 2026, is shown in the price list below as today's Medicaid fee. Most SoonerCare members now receive dental care through managed dental plans, whose rates are not public; the schedule used here is the program's own maximum allowable fees.

Dentures: adult and child rates side by side
For a complete upper denture, code D5110, SoonerCare's 2024 schedule pays $839 for an adult and $762 for a child. Divided by the adult ratio and brought to September 2026, a full set comes to $4,215; a cast metal partial denture, $2,529. Plans class dentures as major work. With the Covered California example, the network price of $2,829 leaves $1,440 to the patient, the yearly maximum taking most of the strain. The denture page compares states and arch counts.
Crowns and root canals priced from the children's column
A porcelain crown, priced from the children's rate of $610, comes to $1,822, and a molar root canal to $1,275. These describe what Oklahoma dentists typically charge for the codes, whoever the patient; an adult quote from a given office may still differ. The crown page sets the figure among the other states.
A checkup with a periodic exam, an adult cleaning and bitewing X-rays, all three listed with an adult rate, comes to $270 before insurance. In network, plans that follow the Covered California pattern pay preventive care in full and leave the deductible for basic and major work, so the visit usually costs a member nothing.
