How To Use Medicare To Cover Dental Service?
What Are Medicare Dental Benefits?
In some cases, Medicare Part A may cover dental care, including:

There may also be some private insurers offering Medicare Advantage Plans. They have to cover everything that Original Medicare covers (Part A, B, D) and sometimes offer additional dental coverage as well. For instance:
- Exams
- X-rays
- Cleanings
- Diagnostic services
- Restorative services (fillings)
- Root canal treatment
- Gum disease treatments
- Extractions
- Crowns, bridges, implants, dentures
