You brush twice a day. You floss. You do everything right.
So when your dentist says you need a crown — or worse, dentures — you assume Medicare has you covered.
Then comes the surprise.
Original Medicare does not cover routine dental care. Cleanings, fillings, crowns, dentures — all excluded. Medicare will only pay if dental care is tied directly to a medical emergency (like jaw surgery after an accident).
The good news? Many Medicare Advantage plans include dental benefits, often with yearly allowances for cleanings, X-rays, and even major procedures.
At Barakat Insurance, we help clients compare plans not just by premium — but by how well they protect your smile.
