Are there any exceptions?

While original Medicare does not cover dental implants, there may be some situations where coverage is available. Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans may offer dental benefits that include coverage for dental implants. These are private insurance plans that are approved by Medicare, and they often offer additional benefits beyond what is covered by original Medicare.

It's important to carefully review the details of any Medicare Advantage plan before enrolling to determine if dental implant coverage is included.
