It’s worth noting that while this list can help cover your replacement teeth costs, you can also contact these resources for assistance with other dental care. A quick Google search for any of the following in your city should yield some results.
How To Get Discounted Dentures
You can reduce the price tag of your dentures via the following low-cost dental care avenues. Be sure to try each until you get the assistance you seek.
Your Dentist
Before trying any other methods for getting discounted dentures, ask your dentist if they have any low-cost options. Some dentists offer free or discounted dental care to locals as a way of giving back to the community. If your dentist says no, start contacting other local dentists until you have exhausted all of your options. Don’t forget to ask about payment plans either, as one could help you pay for your dentures over time.

Local Dental Clinics
Some states have free dental clinics open to the public and offer no-cost or low-cost dental care, including dentures. Your chances of finding such a clinic will be better if you live in a big city.
Dental Schools
Dental training schools need subjects they can work on to help their students perfect their craft.
Contact a dental training school near you, and they may offer discounted or free dentures or other types of oral care. If you are worried about the quality of care via a dental school, you shouldn’t, as professionals are always on staff to ensure patients are well taken care of.
Community Health Centers
The federal government funds some community health centers, allowing them to offer free or low-cost dental care, including dentures, in some cases. Call one near you, and they should at least be able to tell you where to go for discounted dentures.
Local Health Departments
Your local health department may be able to offer affordable dentures thanks to funding from the federal government. Go here to find your local health department and contact them today.
How To Get Free Dentures
The resources above are typically your best bet for getting dentures on the cheap. However, you may be in luck if you try one of the following methods for getting free dentures, although on a much more limited basis:
