About dentures and crowns
A prosthodontist specialises in replacing missing teeth and restoring damaged ones: dentures, crowns, bridges and implant-supported teeth. Dentures are among the services adult Medicaid most often limits, so it is worth checking your state's rules first.
Paying for a visit
This is a dental school clinic. Treatment is given by students under faculty supervision, usually for less than a private practice charges, but appointments are longer and there is often a screening visit first. Dental school clinics: what to expect, and is it worth it?
In Texas, adult Medicaid does not cover routine adult dental care. What Texas Medicaid covers, service by service
Questions to ask when you call
- Are you taking new patients, and how soon is the first appointment?
- Does Rodney Phoenix see adults, and do you take my Medicaid plan?
- Do I need a referral from a general dentist first?
- Do you offer reduced fees or a payment plan for patients without insurance?
- What will the first visit cost me, and what will it include?
A dentist registered at an address may work there only some days, or may have moved on. The clinic's front desk can confirm.
