Your Medicare supplemental dental insurance options

The health of your teeth, gums and mouth is vital to living a healthy life. To make sure your smile is protected, it’s a good idea to know whether your Medicare plan covers dental care. And if dental care isn’t covered, knowing your options can make a big difference.

Does Medicare pay for dental?

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) doesn’t cover most dental services. With a private Medicare plan, dental coverage can vary. At HealthPartners, many Medicare plans include built-in coverage for preventive dental care. And with some plans, you have the option to add on comprehensive dental if you need more coverage.

These Medicare plans already include dental benefits:

With these plans, you can add on supplemental comprehensive dental coverage if you want:

When you add supplemental dental coverage to your eligible HealthPartners Medicare plan:

  • You’ll get 100% coverage for most in-network preventive and diagnostic care.
  • After a $50 deductible, you’ll get 50% coverage (up to an annual maximum) for other in-network dental care, including sealants, fillings, periodontics, oral surgery, dentures and more.
  • All your Medicare dental coverage will be in one plan, making things easier to keep track of.
  • There aren’t any waiting periods after enrollment – your dental benefits start at the same time as all your other benefits.
