Does Medicare cover dental implants?

Medicare does not typically cover routine dental care, including dental implants.
Medicare Part A, which covers hospital insurance, may cover dental services that are necessary for a procedure covered under Medicare, such as jaw reconstruction after an accident or surgery to treat oral cancer.
Medicare Part B, which covers medical insurance, may cover certain dental services if they are performed as part of a covered medical procedure, such as extraction of teeth to prepare the jaw for radiation treatment.
However, most dental implant procedures are considered elective and are not covered by Medicare.
