Medicare Coverage for Dental Implants

• Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for people who are 65 or older.
• Medicare generally does not cover dental care, including dental implants.
• Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) usually does not pay for routine dental treatments, including implants, extractions, or cleanings.
• Medicare Part A might cover a dental implant if it is necessary for another Medicare-covered procedure, such as reconstructing your jaw after an accident.
• Medicare Part B might cover oral exams before major surgeries.
• Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans, which are offered by private insurance companies, may cover some dental services, including implants, as part of their comprehensive benefits.
