Asked August 2018
My father is 71 years old and has to have dentures. Would Medicare pay for this?
He lost most of his teeth due to medications over the years.

Does he have dental with his supplemental? They may pay 50% and he owes the difference. Next bet would be, like said, a dental school. There are some discount denture places too.

No, traditional Medicare does not cover dentures. Medicaid might. Some counties have dental schools that offer reduced fee services.
