Does Medicare cover dental care?
Not covered under Original Medicare (Part A and Part B)
Original Medicare does not cover routine dental care — cleanings, fillings, extractions, or dentures.
“In most cases, Original Medicare doesn't cover dental services like routine cleanings, filings, tooth extractions, or items like dentures”
— Medicare.gov — What's not covered
The exception
Medicare may cover dental services that are part of a covered medical procedure: heart valve repair or replacement, an organ transplant, cancer-related treatment, or dialysis for End-Stage Renal Disease.
Can a Medicare Advantage plan cover this?
Often, partly. 4,184 of the 5,480 individual Medicare Advantage plans filed for 2027 report this benefit (76%). Where a plan publishes a dollar amount — 859 of them do — the median annual allowance is $2,000. In 37 of 3,125 counties, no plan filed for 2027 reports it at all — the benefit people are told Medicare Advantage offers does not exist everywhere.
