Being enrolled to bill Medicare is not the same as Medicare covering your dental treatment — traditional Medicare rarely covers routine dental care.
About oral surgery
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon removes impacted and difficult teeth, treats jaw and facial injuries, and places implants, often under sedation. Most patients arrive with a referral from a general dentist.
Paying for a visit
