BACK TO MEDICARE COVERAGE LIST

Dental Service
 

In general, you pay 100% for dental services.

Medicare does not cover routine dental care or most dental procedures such as cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions or dentures. Medicare does not pay for dental plates or other dental devices. Medicare Part A will pay for certain dental services that you get when you are in the hospital.

Medicare Part A can pay for hospital stays if you need to have emergency or complicated dental procedures, even when the dental care itself is not covered. In these cases you should call your Fiscal Intermediary for more information.

Medicare is the name given to a health insurance program administered by the United States government, covering people who are either age 65 and over, or who meet other special criteria.
