Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) does not typically cover tooth extraction surgery or routine dental care such as cleanings, fillings and dentures.
Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans can offer dental benefits such as coverage for tooth extractions and other procedures. Keep in mind, however, that Medicare Advantage plans that cover dental benefits such as tooth extraction may not be available where you live.
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 98% of Medicare Advantage plans include routine dental benefits as part of their coverage in 2025.2

Medicare Advantage plans can cover dental benefits
Medicare Advantage plans provide the same benefits as Medicare Part A and Part B combined into one plan. Medicare Advantage plans can offer more benefits not covered by Original Medicare, such as dental care coverage.
Medicare Advantage plans that cover dental care can include coverage for services such as one or more of the following:
- Routine cleanings
- Exams
- X-rays
Medicare Advantage plan availability and benefits can vary by location, so it’s important to check with your Medicare Advantage plan provider to find out what type of dental coverage your plan might offer.
You can find out what dental benefits are offered by Medicare Advantage plans in your area – including whether or not plans are available where you live that cover tooth extraction – by visiting Medicare.gov, the official government website of the Medicare program.
