Does Medicare cover dental?

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover routine dental care such as cleanings, fillings, crowns, dentures or implants. Some Medicare Advantage plans include limited dental benefits, but annual limits are often low.

How a standalone dental plan fills the gap

An individual dental plan sits alongside Medicare. PrimeStar plans have no waiting periods, cover cleanings and exams up to 100% without using your annual maximum, and Complete adds a hearing benefit for exams and hearing aids.

Dentures and implants

Dentures, bridges and implants are major services. Boost and Complete cover implants, and major work is covered from day one, with coverage increasing after your first year.

Coverage levels and maximums increase after year one. Plans, costs and availability vary by state.
