Your Health, Your Voice — Smart Medicare Tips for June
A Healthier Smile Starts Here
Your teeth matter more than you think—especially in retirement. Regular dental care keeps more than just your smile in shape. It plays a vital role in your overall health, helping to prevent infections, manage chronic conditions, and even lower your risk of heart disease.
But here’s the thing: Original Medicare doesn’t cover most dental care. That’s where we come in.
Medicare Champion helps you explore affordable dental insurance options designed to fit your needs and budget—so you can smile with confidence.
WHAT DOES DENTAL INSURANCE TYPICALLY COVER?
Dental plans vary, but most offer a tiered structure of coverage, with benefits divided into three main categories:
Preventive Care – Often Covered at 100%
• Routine cleanings
• Oral exams
• Bitewing X-rays, no deductible and no waiting period in most plans
Basic Services
• Root canals
• Implants
• Dentures
• Crowns and bridges, usually subject to cost-sharing through co-pays or coinsurance
Comprehensive Services
• Tooth extractions
• X-rays
Orthodontics (Braces & Aligners)
• Some plans include adult orthodontic coverage
• Most often subject to separate lifetime maximums or limits
Key Features to Consider
When comparing plans, keep these terms in mind:
Deductibles
The amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance kicks in. Lower deductible plans are available, though they may have higher monthly premiums.
Co-pays & Co-insurance
• Co-pay: A fixed dollar amount (e.g., $25 for a filling)
• Co-insurance: A percentage you pay after the deductible (e.g., 20% of the cost for a crown)
Annual Maximums
We offer plans with a variety of Annual Maximums to fit your needs.
Waiting Periods
Some services—like crowns or major dental work—may require you to wait 6–12 months after enrolling. But don’t worry—plans with no waiting periods are available!
