Will Medicare Pay For Tooth Extraction? 
Medicare does not pay for tooth extractions when it 's a routine dental item - this would be covered under a supplemental dental insurance plan . If you do n't already have one , you should consider buying a dental insurance policy - they 're very affordable , are guaranteed issue , and can save you a lot of money . Some policies will even cover a percentage of the cost of an implant to replace the extracted tooth . If the extraction of a tooth was needed in conjunction with a covered procedure such as reconstructing a jaw from an injury at a hospital , then Medicare would cover it . I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for assistance with your program and if you have any other questions . Thanks very much .
