Many seniors are surprised to learn that Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover routine dental care — no cleanings, fillings, crowns, or dentures. That's one reason millions switch to Medicare Advantage.
Original Medicare only pays for dental work that's medically necessary in a hospital setting — for example, jaw surgery after an accident. Routine dentist visits are not covered.
Most Medicare Advantage plans include dental benefits: preventive care (cleanings, X-rays), basic services (fillings), and sometimes major work (crowns, dentures). Coverage limits and copays vary by plan.
Check the annual dental allowance, whether your dentist is in-network, and copays for major procedures. A $0 premium plan with strong dental can save thousands compared to paying out of pocket.
