OR GIVE US A CALL
Medicare is a vital healthcare program in the United States, providing essential medical coverage to eligible individuals, primarily for seniors aged 65 and older and certain disabled individuals. While Medicare primarily focuses on medical services, many people wonder about dental coverage under the program. At River Hills Dentistry, we take pride in being able to provide Hillsborough County Medicare patients with the exceptional dental services they need to maintain a happy, healthy smile.
Medicare is a federal health insurance program established in 1965 that aims to provide affordable healthcare coverage to specific segments of the population. It is administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and is primarily targeted towards individuals who are 65 years or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and those with end-stage renal disease.
To be eligible for Medicare, you must meet certain criteria:
Individuals aged 65 or older, who have worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least ten years.
Younger individuals with specific disabilities, such as permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant or certain qualifying disabilities.
People of any age with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or Lou Gehrig's disease (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis - ALS).
Medicare offers a wide range of medical benefits, including hospital insurance (Part A), medical insurance (Part B), and prescription drug coverage (Part D). Part A covers inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and some home health care. Part B covers outpatient medical services, such as doctor visits, preventive services, and durable medical equipment.
While Medicare Part A and Part B do not typically cover routine dental services, some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans may offer dental benefits. However, certain dental services can still be covered under Medicare Part A or Part B if they are deemed medically necessary, such as dental procedures required before specific medical treatments.
Some of the dental services that may be covered under Medicare include:
Dentures and Partials: Replacement of missing teeth with dentures or partial dentures.
Crowns: Dental crowns to restore damaged teeth and improve their appearance and functionality.
Root Canals: Treatment of infected or damaged tooth roots to save the natural tooth.
Fillings: Dental fillings to repair cavities and prevent further tooth decay.
Cleanings: Routine dental cleanings and examinations for preventive care.
Dental Implants: In certain cases, dental implants may be covered if they are required for medical purposes, such as providing support for facial structures after tooth loss.

HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE WHO RECEIVE OUR DENTAL CARE
Nothing makes us happier than helping our clients accomplish their goals. We are incredibly grateful to be in their service.
Awesome staff, very friendly and knowledgeable. This was my first time here. I usually hate going to the dentist, but this cleaning was actually pretty decent. I didn't hate it like I usually do. I would definitely recommend them to all of my friends and colleagues.

These guys are great! To actually find a dentist that can do tooth extractions without having to send you to another dentist or trying to get a lot of additional work done (I don’t have insurance). I needed two teeth pulled and the doctor was more than happy to yank em out for me! He even offered to yank both of them out at once! I told the doctor I only wanted them pulled one at a time and I would schedule to get the other tooth yanked the following week and then he broke out a tool box with regular hand tools in it and told me those were the tools he used to yank teeth and the dental tools were for “extractions”. So refreshing to find a dentist with a sense of humor! I’ve found a dentist that I have confidence in and his staff is friendly and professional! Highly recommend checking them out!

I came to River Hills Dentistry because I have trigeminal neuralgia and was in need of a dentist who was knowledgeable in more than the basics. If that’s you, this is your man. He is knowledgeable in a wide variety of disease processes and expertly treated me. When you have head or mouth pain it can make you vulnerable. This dentist understands and treats you with kit gloves. I highly recommend him.

River Hills Dentistry, their staff and doctor have always been professional, courteous and honest to myself as well as my family and friends. He's been drilling & fixing teeth for more than 20 years and I always leave feeling good and like I was looked after and well taken care of. Heck, I hate the dentist and getting shots but the doc made in feel nearly painless. If you need a good, ethical and great family doc, call these guys.

Both the doctor and the team are amazing! They’re all very welcoming and kind. The office is very clean and well put together. I am in and out in 30 minutes for regular routine cleanings (i.e. they’re very punctual). I highly recommend this practice!
- Amanda Ferguson
Ive been a patient of River Hills Dentistry for many years and have always received excellent treatment and care. At 61, I have all of my teeth and I credit the attentive dental care I’ve received to this. The office staff are always friendly, helpful and professional.
- Julie Williams
The doctor is a rare find, one that truly cares about the health of his patients not how much he can charge them. His staff is friendly and take the time to ensure you understand your treatment plan. Thank you for your exceptional dental care!
