Dental insurance for seniors on Medicare in Texas
Original Medicare doesn't cover routine dental. Compare standalone dental and Medicare Advantage dental benefits.
Why Medicare leaves a gap
Original Medicare Parts A and B don't pay for routine cleanings, fillings or dentures. Many retirees lose dental coverage when they leave an employer plan.
Two ways to fill it
Some Medicare Advantage plans include dental benefits with annual limits. A standalone dental plan works with Original Medicare and a Medicare Supplement, and lets you choose a broader network on some plans.
What to check
Look at the annual maximum, waiting periods, whether dentures and implants are included, and whether your dentist is in the network.

Supplemental and limited-benefit plans are not a substitute for comprehensive major-medical health insurance and do not meet ACA minimum essential coverage requirements. Benefits, waiting periods, exclusions and availability vary by carrier and plan. This page is general information, not a contract — review the plan's official documents before you enroll.
