How Vision & Dental Plans Keep Retirees Healthier and Happier
Your smile and your sight are part of living well—especially in retirement. But did you know that Original Medicare doesn’t cover routine dental or vision care? That’s why so many retirees choose to add supplemental coverage for exams, cleanings, glasses, and more. At Wolken Insurance Services, we help clients across Apple Valley and beyond find dental and vision plans that protect their health and their wallet. If you're not covered yet, here’s why it might be time to reconsider.
What’s Typically Covered
Most dental and vision plans include one annual eye exam, plus coverage or discounts on prescription glasses or contact lenses. On the dental side, preventive care—cleanings, X-rays, and checkups—is often covered at no cost to you. Many plans also help with major services like root canals, crowns, and dentures. This means fewer surprises and more consistent care throughout the year.
Standalone vs. Add-On Plans
You can purchase dental and vision coverage as a standalone policy, or in some cases, as an add-on to your Medicare Advantage plan. We’ll help you compare both options. The right fit depends on your health needs, providers, and how often you expect to use the benefits. The best plan is the one you’ll actually use—and understand.
The Preventive Power of Care
Dental and vision issues don’t just affect your mouth or eyes—they can signal larger health concerns like diabetes, heart disease, or even stroke risk. Regular care helps catch small issues before they become big ones. With affordable coverage, there’s no reason to delay those routine checkups and treatments.
A healthy smile and clear vision are part of living fully. Let Wolken Insurance Services help you protect both with coverage that fits your lifestyle. Call us today to compare plans and get expert advice that makes sense.
