When Medicare Provides Coverage for Dental Implants

    Medicare will only provide coverage for dental implants if they are considered medically necessary. This means that the dental implants must be required for the health and functioning of the individual. Some situations in which Medicare may cover dental implants include:

  • Reconstructive surgery after an accident or injury
  • Replacement of teeth lost due to a medical procedure, such as removal of a tumor
  • Severe facial trauma
