Medicare coverage for dentures

Medicare Part A and B

Original Medicare, which includes Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance), does not cover the cost of routine dental care, including dentures. However, there may be exceptions under certain circumstances, such as:

• Extraction of teeth as part of a surgical procedure covered by Medicare
• Reconstruction of the jaw following injury or oral cancer surgery
• Facial reconstruction after a severe accident or trauma

Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Medicare Part C, are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. These plans provide the same coverage as Original Medicare, and some may offer additional dental benefits, including coverage for dentures. It's important to review the specific details of each plan to determine the extent of dental coverage.
