Other Sources of Financial Assistance

While Medicare may not cover dental implants, there are other potential sources of financial assistance for seniors in need of dental care:

• Medicaid: A joint federal and state program that provides healthcare coverage for low-income individuals and families. Medicaid coverage varies by state, but some states may offer dental coverage, including dental implants.
• Dental Discount Plans: Membership-based programs that offer discounted rates for dental procedures, including dental implants. These plans may be beneficial for seniors who do not qualify for or cannot afford traditional dental insurance.
• Charitable Organizations: Nonprofit organizations may offer free or low-cost dental services to seniors in need. These organizations can be found locally or through online resources.
