Your Denture Questions, Answered

Many insurance plans cover dentures for seniors, and some cover the full cost. Every plan is different, so the quickest way to know is to give us a call — our team will check your coverage for you before any treatment begins.

Your insurance card is all you need. We'll ask for the name on the plan, your date of birth and your member ID, then we'll contact your plan and explain what's covered in plain language.

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) generally does not cover dentures. Many seniors have other coverage that does include dental benefits, so call us with your insurance card and we'll find out exactly what yours covers.

We'll explain any remaining cost before treatment starts, so there are no surprises. Flexible monthly payments, including 0% financing for those who qualify, are available.

Yes. Family members and caregivers are welcome to call and help with the insurance check and scheduling — just have the patient's insurance card handy.

A short adjustment period is normal. Speaking and eating feel more natural within a few weeks, and we schedule follow-up visits to smooth out any sore spots and fine-tune the fit.

Most people return to a wide variety of foods. Start with softer foods cut into small pieces, then work up to your favorites. Implant-supported dentures offer the strongest bite if you want extra stability.

With good daily care, dentures last for years. Your mouth naturally changes over time, so we check the fit at your regular visits and can reline or adjust your dentures to keep them comfortable.
