A member asked:

Can someone on medicare get a full tooth extraction and a full set of dentures?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Not at this time: Medicaid currently provides no dental care unless a physician refers the patient for these procedures because the patient has a systemic illness that would benefit from removal of the teeth. Making dentures as a replacement prosthesis is possible if a disfiguring osteotomy for cancer occurs. There is no question that senior citizens on medicaid would benefit from inclusion of dental care.

Medicaid yes in Ark: In my state of arkansas, patients on medicaid can get full mouth extraction and one set of denture per lifetime. Medicaid also provides one reline per lifetime.
