Yes they are available from S&W. If you have the 12rd be sure to ask for the 12rd finger rest when you order, the parts list only gives the number for the 10rd basepad and they won't work.
If you're lucky, S&W will send you a couple base plates for free. Butter up the customer servicve guy. They sent me two free ones a few years ago when I bought my M&P9c. Otherwise, I think they're a few bucks apiece.
