However, Medicare Advantage programs, which are offered by insurance carriers, often include these benefits in their plans. It's important to note, though, that the coverage provided by Medicare Advantage plans is generally not as comprehensive as standalone dental policies, and hearing, and vision coverage, but they do offer the basics and some of them do go a little deeper in their benefits.

Plans are insured or covered by a Medicare Advantage (HMO, PPO and PFFS) organization with a Medicare contract and/or a Medicare-approved Part D sponsor. Enrollment in the plan depends on the plan’s contract renewal with Medicare. We do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE to get information on all of your options.

1. Medicare Advantage (Part C) Plans
Most Medicare Advantage plans include dental and vision benefits.
Coverage often includes:
Dental: cleanings, x-rays, fillings, dentures, sometimes crowns and root canals
Vision: eye exams, glasses, contact lenses, sometimes allowances for frames
These plans are offered by private insurers and often have $0 premiums.
Keep in mind: benefits and provider networks vary by plan and location.
Best for: People who want everything bundled into one plan
2. Standalone Dental and Vision Plans
If you have Original Medicare with or without a Medigap plan, you can buy separate dental and vision insurance.
These plans can be:
Dental-only
Vision-only
Or combined dental/vision/hearing packages
Monthly premiums typically range from $15 to $50+, depending on coverage
Best for: People who want to keep Original Medicare but still want coverage for routine care
3. Discount Programs or Dental Savings Plans
These aren’t insurance but offer reduced rates at participating providers
Often cost less per month but come with no coverage for major procedures
Best for: Budget-conscious people who want basic discounts without full insurance
Bonus Tip: Some Medigap Plans Include Access
While Medigap itself doesn’t cover dental or vision, some insurers offer discount programs or add-ons when you enroll in their Medigap plan. Ask if that’s available.
Would you like help comparing Medicare Advantage plans that include dental and vision—or looking into standalone options that work with your current coverage?

Most Medicare Advantage plans have dental and vision coverage built in or have an option to add the coverage for an additional premium. But this is not the only way.
If you have a Medicare Supplement plan (like G or N), you can buy a separate policy for dental and vision from the same company or a different company.
Talk to your agent to find the best option for you. Be aware of waiting periods and make sure your dentist is in the plan's network.

Sometimes, Medicare advantage plans or Part C, will include dental and vision coverage. However, it is important to know what is covered and excluded in the plan with the insurance carrier. Each plan is going to be different as some only provide discounts on dental and vision, some only allow for basic or preventative services, and some have specific coverage limits with various benefits and exclusions.
Medicare Supplement Plans or Medigap Plans do not typically include dental or vision coverage, but insurance carriers may opt to add a rider for dental coverage.
In many cases, it is important to identify your needs. You can purchase stand alone dental and /or vision coverage or sometimes there are Dental, Vision and Hearing plans (DVH plans) that can also provide coverage for the areas where Medicare does not provide coverage.

Part C, Medicare Advantage plans, might include Dental and Vison. The coverages there you would need to review. I can look it up for you if you don't know.

Several ways if you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan usually these are additional benefits that are included in the plan. Keep in mind not every plan provides this.
Or you can buy these as a standalone policy.

Second, there are many stand-alone dental and vision programs available on the open market. They can be purchased anytime during the year.

With Medicare Supplement, any Dental and Vision benefits beyond what is offered in Original Medicare requires a separate policy.
With Medicare Advantage, many plans include Dental and Vision benefits.
