The simple answer is yes. While you can’t be certain that your specific case will be covered, most cases will be. Dental implants are a type of tooth restoration that involves inserting a titanium screw into the jawbone, which then secures a prosthetic tooth. Dental implants are widely used to replace missing teeth or even entire jaws (known as “fixed partial dentures”). They can also aid in the stabilization of loose dentures and the improvement of chewing function. Dental implants are often considered medically necessary, which means they are covered by Medicare. All dental services provided by qualified providers, including those working in hospitals or outpatient clinics, are covered by Medicare. Dental providers who accept Medicare patients have agreed to accept the same payment rates set by the federal government (as all doctors must), so patients will incur no additional costs beyond their standard Part B premium (which varies depending on income).
