Does Medicare Cover Dentures?

Medicare Advantage plans can offer dental benefits such as dentures coverage, though plans with dental benefits may not be available where you live. Learn more about Medicare Advantage plans, the benefits plans can offer and how to find out if Medicare Advantage plans with dental benefits are available where you live.

Are Dentures covered under Medicare?

No, Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover dentures or routine dental care. This means that you are typically responsible for 100 percent of the cost of dentures if you have Original Medicare.

Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) plans can cover dentures and other routine dental procedures.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 97% of 2024 Medicare Advantage plans include dental benefits as part of their coverage.2

Medicare Advantage plans are required to cover everything Original Medicare covers, and they can offer other benefits that aren’t covered by Part A and Part B. It’s important to note these benefits aren’t available with all plans, and some or all of the plans in your area may not offer a dental benefit. Plans that do include dental coverage may come with additional costs such as coinsurance, copays and/or deductibles.

Request a free plan quote online or call to speak with a licensed insurance agent to find out if Medicare Advantage plans where you live cover dental benefits such as dentures.

We offer plans from Humana, UnitedHealthcare®, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield*, Aetna, Cigna Healthcare, Wellcare, or Kaiser Permanente.
