For pensioners, the cost of dentures depends mostly on whether you go through a public dental scheme. With a public dental voucher, your state’s public dental service may cover some or all of the cost: NSW Health, for example, says you won’t pay for care its public dental clinic authorises, while the ACT says a co-payment may apply. Paying privately at smilogy, a full upper or lower denture is from $1,450, a full set is from $2,500, and partial dentures start from $1,650. Eligible veterans can also use DVA.<\/p>\n
Public dental vouchers and DVA are accepted at participating smilogy clinics. Free, no-obligation consultation at 40+ locations across NSW, QLD, VIC, SA and the ACT.<\/strong><\/p>\n Find your nearest clinic \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n This guide sets out what you’re likely to pay, the ways to bring the cost down, and what to ask before you start.<\/p>\n Sometimes. Each state and territory runs its own public dental service, and adults usually need a Pensioner Concession Card, Health Care Card or Commonwealth Seniors Health Card to be eligible. If the service assesses you and authorises denture care, it may treat you at a public clinic or, in some states, issue a voucher so you can see a participating private dental prosthetist. Whether you pay anything depends on your state and the care authorised.<\/p>\n The catch is usually the wait. Many people join a waiting list for public denture care.
