Aetna Medicare Advantage Plans Dental Benefits

Aetna Medicare Advantage Plans provide optional dental benefits for an affordable additional premium. Two kinds of dental plans are offered: The Aetna Medicare Preventive Dental Plan and the Aetna Medicare Advantage Dental Plan.

You may receive covered dental services when you select a participating primary care dentist.

Both plans include oral and emergency dental exams, teeth cleaning and oral hygiene consultation. The Advantage Dental Plan adds benefits such as X-rays, restorative care like retention pins, fillings, or minor denture adjustments, and periodontic care such as scaling and root planning.

Other dental care services covered partially such as oral surgery, crowns, bridges or dentures.

Attention: when you are enrolled in a Aetna Medicare Advantage HMO plan, services received out of network are not covered. For Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO members a 50% coinsurance coverage applies for out of network services. So make sure your dentist participates in Aetna Preventive or Advantage Dental Plans program.

Depending on the plan, per-visit dental co-payments for covered services may apply.
