Although it is easy to understand which procedures are covered by your dental insurance, this is not very clear for Medicare. It all depends on your particular general health and your oral health conditions and what your oral health needs are. In most scenarios we have treated, Medicare would usually cover the cost for treating infected teeth, which is also causing an infected bone. This could include bone grafting and related exams. It might also cover a few other procedures involving implants. However, the coverage determination is not straightforward and could only be assessed by a dentist who is also certified by Medicare.

Only 1% of dentists in the US are Medicare certified. We are among those providers meaning if we diagnose you with an oral condition which could affect your long term health, your treatment might be covered up to 100% by Medicare part B insurance. Dr. Esfandiari and Dr. Ganji are Medicare certified dentists and have been helping Medicare recipients, making sure their oral health is addressed, maintaining healthy teeth and a beautiful smile. An extra bonus for patients treated by our dentists is that after taking care of your oral health condition, we might be able to cover you fully or partially for dental implants, bone graft, and related surgeries.

Please note that even if the cost might not be fully covered by your insurance, we look forward to working with you with several in-house financial programs, including an amazing discount membership plan we offer.

Which Oral Health Conditions Are Usually Covered By Medicare Part B?

Most oral health issues, which are medical (non-cosmetic), could be covered under Medicare. Examples are
- Inflammation in your jaw
- Bone resorption (loss of bone tissue) interfering your ability to chew food.
- Infected teeth which could be leading to infected bones.
- Or any other scenario where implants could be categorized as a medically necessary intervention.
If a procedure is needed to recover the damage caused by an injury. For example, falling and knocking a tooth out. In such scenarios, there is a high chance that Medicare covers some of the implant costs for you.
If missing teeth is causing you some major medical problems and replacing those could help treating the issue, we might be able to ask Medicare for some partial or full coverage.
If a tooth extraction is medically necessary for a larger treatment plan before an organ transplant or a radiation treatment.
If you are not able to chew food due to pain or tooth loss, you may qualify to get dental implants as they would be medically necessary to prevent any complications caused by poor dieting.

In addition to the above conditions, you may qualify for a medical necessity condition if you have an oral condition together with another organ disease. As oral disease and infections can lead to some other diseases in the body like heart attack, valvular and vascular infection, lung infection, colon cancer, and some other diseases. If you have an oral infection and experience any of these conditions, you may qualify to use your Medicare to cover a portion of your dental expenses.

How To Know If You're Covered?

The first step to check if you can use your Medicare to cover your oral health-related expenses such as dental surgeries or implants is to consult with a dentist who also has a deep understanding of all the Medicare rules and regulations.
