Tooth loss and
other dental issues are actually much more common than many realize*. Unfortunately, this can make it harder to eat, smile, and live a pain-free life. In addition, tooth loss can even affect the bone structure of your face. For these reasons, it is especially important to ensure that you are getting the most comprehensive coverage possible when it comes to all of your healthcare needs.*https://www.cdc.gov/oralhealth/basics/adult-oral-health/adult_older.htm
Although dental care is rarely covered under Original Medicare Parts A and B, many Medicare
Advantage, or Medicare Part C, plans include some sort of dental coverage. These plans are offered
through private insurance carriers. As such, they often combine Original Medicare Part A and Part B
benefits into one comprehensive plan. In addition to this, Medicare Advantage plans may offer even
more benefits, including dental services such as:
Currently, Original Medicare Parts A and B do not cover the cost of any dental needs with the exception
of emergency facial reconstructive surgery. That said, however, it is possible to receive dental coverage
under a Medicare Advantage plan, also known as Medicare Part C.
Please note that Medicare Advantage plans are health insurance plans that are offered by private
insurance companies. By law, they are required to offer the same level of coverage as Original Medicare,
but they can usually offer additional coverage for other healthcare needs as well. With a Medicare
Advantage Plan, exact benefits and the price of your plan can vary, but dental needs such as those
described above are often covered in some form.
