FAQ: Dentures

How do I get dentures on Centrelink?

If you are looking to get dentures and are covered by Centrelink, it’s important to note that Centrelink doesn’t provide coverage for dental treatments. However, if you have a healthcare card or Centrelink pensioner concession card, you may be eligible for free or partially subsidised dental treatments depending on the state or territory you live in. While Advance Oral denture clinic is an approved Health Fund Provider recognised by all health funds, you may be able to claim for new dentures. Advance Oral offers a free consultation. We then provide you with a detailed written quotation with all item codes. That way you’ll find out exactly what you will get back from your fund.

It’s worth noting that some health funds only allow you to claim for new dentures every 3 years. So be sure to check with your health fund to make sure you are covered. Ultimately, it’s important to consult with your dental professional and health insurance provider to explore all available options.

What is the cost of dentures?

The cost of dentures in Australia can vary greatly depending on the type of denture and the materials used. On average, a full set of dentures can cost between $1,500 and $3,500, while a partial denture can cost between $700 and $1,800. However, premium dentures can cost significantly more, with prices ranging from $4,000 to $8,000. It’s important to keep in mind that the cost of dentures can also depend on the individual’s dental needs and the complexity of their case. Additional treatments or procedures, such as extractions or bone grafts, can also increase the overall cost of getting dentures.

It’s always a good idea to speak with a dental professional at a denture clinic to get a more accurate estimate of the cost of dentures based on your specific needs. They can also provide advice on payment plans or options for financing the cost of dentures.

Overall, while the cost of dentures in Australia can be a significant investment, they can greatly improve the quality of life for those who need them by improving oral health, speech, and the ability to eat comfortably. We can provide you with a personalised quote after a consultation to determine the best treatment plan for you.

The cost of dentures for pensioners can vary depending on a number of factors. Including the type of dentures, the materials used, and the location of the dental practice. However, pensioners may be eligible for reduced fees or subsidies for denture services through various government schemes. Such as the Dental Benefits Schedule and state-based programs. It’s important to check with your local dental practitioner or government agency to see if you qualify for any subsidies or reduced fees for dentures. Additionally, some private health insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost of dentures for pensioners. So it’s worth exploring all available options. Just contact us and we’ll help you with this process.

How do they get you ready for dentures?

We may also need to extract any remaining teeth that are causing issues. At subsequent appointments, we’ll work with you to create a customised denture that fits comfortably and looks natural.
