Comprehensive Medicaid For Senior Adults in Fairhaven
At Smiley Dental, we provide complete dental care and necessary assistance to senior adults. We are highly concerned about their dental health and well-being. So, we have partnered with Senior Whole Health, a platform that provides special needs managed care plans. This plan specifically addresses the needs of individuals who fall into the dual eligible aged category for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare is available for senior adults who are age 65 and older. Medicaid is also available for people at the federal poverty level. Partnered with Senior Whole Health, we are committed to maximizing the quality of life, health, security, and independence of senior adults.
We Welcome Our Senior Patients to Be Part of SWH
Senior Whole Health (SWH) is a Medicare Advantage health plan designed for individuals aged 65 and older. It integrates both MassHealth Standard and Medicare benefits into a single plan.
We have collaborated with their Coordinated Care plan, which operates under a Medicare Advantage contract and is also contracted with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts/EOHHS Medicaid Program. Enrollment in this plan is voluntary. Our team will explain the plans in detail. Limitations and restrictions may apply. At Smiley Dental, we will assist you in the complete enrollment process.
Eligible beneficiaries can join the plan at any time throughout the year. This application document is available in different formats. Plan members have to use network pharmacies to access their prescription drug benefits, except in non-routine situations. Quantity limits and restrictions may apply, and all routine care must be received from us. We make sure to cover complete dental care under Medicaid.


Here's How Medicare and Medicaid Helping Our Senior Patients!
We keep our senior patients aware of the importance of dental care for maintaining overall health. Here’s how Medicaid and Medicare assist seniors with dental needs:
Extensive Medicaid Coverage
The plans come with comprehensive benefits, especially for senior adults. Many SWH Medicaid programs offer extensive dental coverage, including preventive services such as cleanings and exams, as well as restorative procedures such as fillings, crowns, and extractions. We understand this support is vital for seniors who may not otherwise afford dental care.
The Medicaid plan helps alleviate the financial burden of dental treatments by covering a significant portion of the costs, reducing out-of-pocket expenses for senior patients.


Medicare Coverage
Senior Whole Health is not limited to dental benefits compared to other Medicare plans, which typically do not cover routine dental care. It will cover dental services required for a covered medical procedure, such as jaw surgery needed for a medical condition.
Our Senior patients get access to Medicare Advantage Plans. Many Medicare Advantage plans offer additional dental benefits, including coverage for preventive and comprehensive dental care. This can include routine check-ups, cleanings, and sometimes more extensive treatments.
Benefits of Enrolling in Senior Whole Health in Fairhaven
- Get Preventive Care: Access to dental care through Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans can lead to early detection of oral health issues, preventing more serious conditions that could impact overall health. Routine visits help in managing issues like gum disease and tooth decay before they become severe.
- Improves Quality of Life: Proper dental care helps seniors maintain good oral health, which is linked to better nutrition and overall well-being. Healthy teeth and gums contribute to comfortable eating, speaking, and a higher quality of life.
- Access to Various Dental Services:Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans often include a network of dental providers, making it easier for seniors to access necessary services. These networks ensure that seniors can find local providers like our clinic in Fairhaven who accept their coverage, simplifying the process of receiving care.
