Does Medicare Cover Dental Implants

Does Medicare Cover Dental Implants? A dental implant is a structure in the mouth anchored to the jaw, intended to serve instead of a defective natural root, according to the Centers for Disease Control. It is usually attached to a replacement tooth or bridge. Parts A and B of original Medicare insurance do not cover dental implants (or routine dental care). Some

 plans may include routine dental services. Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) provides a way to get your original Medicare insurance coverage through a Medicare licensed private health insurance company.

Medicare Advantage plans must offer the same benefits as Parts A and B of Medicare, and many plans include other protections, such as routine dental care and prescription drugs. Part A of Medicare always covers palliative care if you have a Medicare Advantage Plan.
