If you live in a expanded medicaid state, check your state's medicaid program to see if they provide dental. If not, sign up for a dental savings plan. It's not insurance but a different fee schedule. It can greatly reduce the cost. Here's one.
I don't know about your state but here in Fl, if you go to one of the dental schools, they have a program that one can apply to, used as training for students.
I have no dental insurance . need to get dentures . I have seen on this site someone had posted all the different sites to use for each state . Im in iowa if that helps . I do not know how to search for the answer in this forum
If you are on Medicaid then Iowa Medicaid has a dental plan that will help pay for dentures but they won’t be free. Dental schools will perform work at a discount but again no free dentures. Good luck!
If Medicaid, I would go to your state’s website and review what dental services are paid by Medicaid.
Medicare generally does not cover dental work.
You may find that at times county governments or dental offices have free clinics once or twice a year but I have heard the wait time can be long even on the free clinic day. Google your county ‘s Dept of Health to see if these clinics are available.
Dentalwork is darned expensive. Again, review your policy to assess if you have any dental coverage. Often what dental insurance covers is often not nearly enough but it’s something.
If you have a University with a dental program nearby, check for these events and you may get a discounted rate for procedures but may not be totally free. And a long waiting list.

Can't hurt to ask a dentist for a discount. I recommend one that is busy, more likely to afford giving steep discounts.
Google dental discounts.
