You mentioned that you're on Medicare. What about Medicaid? I know in the state of IN, where I'm at, Medicaid covers dental work. My middle sister just had...

Oral surgeon. I was put out. My total bill for having 22 teeth pulled and being put out was only 1180 and that was with my insurance. It was 90 a tooth plus...
I agree. The problem is that none of the oral surgeons I called would tell me over the phone what they charge to extract teeth. They said I would have to come...

It seems to me from what has been posted that the majority of the costs of full dentures is the extractions of the defective teeth. WHY is this ? UNLESS we are...
HI, It's hard to speak for someone else, but, in light of what you've written, if I were you, I'd go with the full upper. I say this only because I can't see...
