Dental & Vision Coverage That Works With Your Medicare
Original Medicare does not cover routine dental or vision care. That’s why so many people add separate Dental & Vision coverage to protect their smile, eyesight, and budget. May River Medicare Insurance helps you compare plans from trusted carriers — including Manhattan Life Dental & Vision — so you can find coverage that actually fits how you use care.
Why Dental & Vision Matter on Medicare
Dental and vision care are often the first things people skip when money is tight — but they are also some of the most important services for long-term health. Untreated dental problems and vision changes can lead to bigger health issues, higher costs, and a lower quality of life.
Dental & Vision plans can help with:
- Routine cleanings, exams, and basic dental work.
- More advanced services like crowns, root canals, or dentures (depending on the plan).
- Eye exams, lenses, frames, or contact lenses.
- Protecting your budget from unexpected out-of-pocket costs.
Not all plans are the same. Benefits, waiting periods, and networks can vary widely — which is why guidance matters.

In this video, we explain how Dental & Vision plans fit alongside Medicare, what they typically cover, and what to look for before you choose a plan.
How Dental & Vision Plans Typically Work
Dental & Vision plans are usually separate, private insurance policies that work alongside your Medicare. Each company designs its own benefits, but there are some common patterns you’ll see:
- Preventive services (like exams and cleanings) may be covered at or near 100% with low or no waiting periods.
- Basic and major services (like fillings, extractions, crowns, dentures) may have coinsurance and sometimes waiting periods.
- Vision benefits may include annual eye exams, allowances for lenses and frames, or discounts on additional pairs.
- Plans often have an annual maximum or benefit cap for dental care.
- Some plans allow you to see any dentist, while others use a network to control costs.
Our job is to walk you through these details and help you decide what’s worth paying for — and what you may not need.
