Original Medicare usually does not cover dental related services unless it is for certain circumstances. However, some Medicare Advantage Plans will cover routine dental services.
Certain dental services can be covered by Medicare Advantage Plans, but make sure to ask your plan provider which services will be covered, for each plan may be different. It would be best if you also asked your dentist to confirm which plans are accepted.
Take note that the more coverage a plan offers, the higher your premiums, coinsurance, and copayments could be.
Depending on the dentist’s office you receive your services from, the costs of each service could vary. However, standard cleaning could cost anywhere from $75 to $200. If you receive any dental X-rays, you could be looking at costs of up to $300.
If you require deeper cleaning, such as scaling or root planing, you could pay as high as $4,000 for a full-mouth cleaning.
