A Brandon dentist who takes the time to check your Medicare plan.

What your plan likely includes
Your dental benefit, in plain English.
Preventive care — exams, cleanings and X-rays — is often covered at no cost to you. Plans with comprehensive benefits also help pay for fillings, extractions, root canals, gum treatment, dentures and bridges. Allowances reset every January 1 — unused benefits don't roll over.
Only about half of Medicare Advantage members use their dental benefit each year. If you haven't been to a dentist recently, your plan may already pay for the visit.
Straight answers
The questions everyone asks first.
"Do you take my Medicare Advantage plan?"
We accept many Medicare Advantage dental plans from carriers including Aetna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare (AARP), Cigna and Florida Blue. Participation varies by specific plan and county — call (813) 820-0071 and we'll verify your exact plan, usually the same day.
"Will it cover my dentures?"
Plans with comprehensive benefits typically help pay for dentures, bridges, extractions and oral surgery. Cost-sharing and annual maximums vary, so we confirm your coverage in writing before any treatment begins. If your plan leaves a gap, ask about our payment plans — we'll put the exact numbers in writing before anything begins.
"What if I only have Original Medicare?"
Original Medicare generally doesn't cover routine dental care (since 2023 it covers certain dental services tied to specific medical treatments). Our in-house membership plan — from $33/month — covers your cleanings, exams and X-rays, plus a discount on treatment. See how it works below.
How do I use my plan's yearly dental allowance?
Some plans give you a dollar allowance instead of service-by-service coverage. Just bring your insurance card — we process the claim and tell you your remaining balance. Allowances reset January 1 and don't roll over, so late-year appointments are a smart way to use what you've already paid for.
Are there waiting periods for Medicare Advantage dental?
Most Medicare Advantage plans have no waiting period for dental benefits — you can typically use preventive coverage right away. (Waiting periods are common in separate stand-alone dental insurance, which is a different product.) We'll confirm your plan's rules when we verify your benefits.
What happens if I reach my plan's annual maximum?
Once your plan's yearly maximum is used, you're responsible for further costs until it resets in January. We help you plan treatment around your benefit year, and our membership plan and payment plans can cover the gap.
Does my plan cover emergency dental care?
Many plans cover emergency treatment such as infection care, pain relief and extractions. If you're in pain, call us first at (813) 820-0071 — in most cases we can see you for an exam the same day, and we'll verify your emergency coverage while you're on your way.
I have both Medicare and Medicaid — can I still come to Dental Day?
Call us with your plan card. If your dental benefit comes through a Medicare Advantage plan — including Dual Special Needs (D-SNP) plans — we can check it for you, at no charge. Florida Medicaid dental is a separate program with its own networks; call and we'll help you figure out where your coverage works.
How do I pick a Medicare plan with good dental benefits?
Medicare's annual Open Enrollment runs October 15 – December 7 each year; plan changes take effect January 1. We can tell you which plans we currently accept, so you can factor that into your decision. For help comparing and choosing plans, contact Medicare directly at 1-800-MEDICARE, use medicare.gov/plan-compare, or talk with a licensed insurance agent. Florida's free SHINE program (1-800-963-5337) also offers unbiased counseling for Hillsborough County seniors.
No dental coverage? There's still a plan.
Our in-house membership covers the basics for less than a phone bill.
For patients on Original Medicare — or anyone whose plan's dental benefit runs out — our adult membership is $33/month ($363/year). No waiting periods, no claim forms, no denials. It includes:
- A basic cleaning every 6 months*
- Oral cancer screening with each cleaning
- 1–2 exams per year
- X-rays as determined necessary
- 1 emergency exam with X-ray per year
- Up to 10% off any needed treatment
*If periodontal disease is present, additional treatment will be necessary before your cleaning. A child membership ($29/month) is also available for the grandkids.
No dental insurance and not ready for membership? After your comprehensive exam you receive a written treatment plan with costs — so you always know the full price before we begin.
