Hello,

Tooth problems can affect eating, speaking, confidence, and daily comfort. It is completely understandable to ask whether tooth replacement or fixing treatment can be done using an Ayushman card before planning dental care. Many patients become worried about dental treatment costs, especially when teeth are damaged or missing.

Can Tooth Replacement Be Done Under Ayushman Bharat?

Ayushman Bharat – PMJAY mainly supports medically necessary hospital treatments and surgeries. Routine dental procedures such as:

• Tooth fixing
• Artificial tooth replacement
• Cosmetic dental treatment
• Dental caps or braces

may not always be covered under standard PMJAY packages.

However, some medically necessary dental or oral procedures related to:

• Severe infection
• Jaw injury
• Oral surgery
• Trauma cases
• Major dental complications

may be considered at empanelled hospitals depending on package approval and medical condition.

What Dental Treatments May Be Available?

Depending on the dental condition, doctors may suggest:

• Tooth extraction
• Root canal treatment (RCT)
• Dental implants
• Dentures
• Bridges or crowns
• Gum treatment
• Oral surgery consultation

The suitable treatment depends on the condition of the teeth and gums.

How to Check Ayushman Empanelled Hospitals

Verification Steps

• Visit Ayushman Bharat Official Portal
• Open the “Find Hospital” section
• Select:
  • State
  • District
  • Specialty if available
• Check nearby empanelled hospitals

You can also contact the hospital dental department or Ayushman help desk directly.

Documents Usually Required

Please carry:

• Ayushman card
• Aadhaar card
• Previous dental reports or X-rays
• Doctor prescriptions if available

These documents help during consultation and eligibility verification.

Why Proper Dental Consultation Is Important

Missing or damaged teeth should not be ignored because they may lead to:

• Difficulty chewing
• Gum infection
• Jaw problems
• Pain and swelling
• Reduced confidence while speaking or smiling

Early dental evaluation can help doctors suggest the best treatment option.
