Millions of Coloradoans recently faced the challenge of finding the right Medicare coverage, including the need to decide between Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans. The primary focus of those plans is medical and prescription coverage, but it is important not to ignore the potential impact of dental coverage.

Lakewood Complete Dentistry recently reminded seniors in Colorado that their Medicare or Medical Advantage does not cover many dental care procedures. The group offers a dental savings plan to make essential dental care something seniors can afford, according to a news release. 

Dr. Vincenzo Artino from Lakewood Complete Dentistry said the practice understands the challenges seniors in this situation face. 

"We make the search for experienced and knowledgeable dentists easy and provide the care seniors need at a rate they can afford,” he said. “Our plan allows patients to enjoy friendly, personalized care at a consistent, monthly fee.”

The savings plan offers routine preventive care at a fixed monthly fee. Benefits are available immediately when signing up and benefits are not subject to deductibles or copays and have no annual limits. 

Not having dental care can impact the life of a senior. People who still have 20 or more teeth at age 70 are significantly more likely to have a longer lifespan than those with fewer teeth, according to the news release. In addition, 70% of patients over 65 years of age have advanced periodontitis, which often causes tooth loss and is linked to heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s.
