Dental Care for Medicare Patients in Hudson and Port Richey
If you are on Medicare and looking for a dentist in west Pasco, here is the short answer: Estrada Dentistry accepts Medicare at both of our offices, and benefits differ from plan to plan, so our front desk reviews your benefits with you before any treatment is scheduled. You decide with the full picture in front of you. Call (727) 869-3886 and tell us you are a Medicare patient.
Yes, We Accept Medicare at Both Offices
Medicare patients are a big part of this practice. Estrada Dentistry is a family-owned practice, and Dr. Jaime Estrada, DDS has cared for west Pasco for more than 30 years, which means a large share of the people in our chairs are retirees. We accept Medicare at the Hudson office at 13736 Little Rd and the Port Richey office at 6640 Embassy Blvd, so you can choose whichever location is the easier drive and get the same welcome at either front desk.
What Accepting Medicare Means in Practice
Here is how it works, step by step. Bring your Medicare card to your first visit. Before any treatment is scheduled, our front desk sits down with you and reviews your benefits, because no two plans look alike and the only way to know how yours applies is to look at your plan, not somebody else's. Nothing starts before you have seen the plan. Our new patient page walks through the rest of what to expect at that first appointment.
The Care Our Older Patients Come In For
Most Medicare patients come to us for the same handful of things. Regular exams and cleanings keep small problems small, which matters more with each decade, not less. Teeth that have reached the end of the road may need extractions, and teeth that can be saved often get crowns. Patients missing several teeth ask us about dentures and partials, and those who want something fixed in place ask about implants and implant-supported dentures. And for patients who have put off the dentist for years because of nerves, we offer sedation so the visit stays calm from start to finish. Whatever brings you in, the sequence is the same: exam first, benefits review second, treatment only after you have agreed to the plan.
If a Cost Catches You Off Guard
If you ever face a treatment cost you were not expecting, that does not have to stop the plan. CareCredit financing lets you spread the cost of care over time in monthly payments instead of paying all at once, and treatment can often be staged across visits so no single appointment carries all the weight. Patients who carry PPO dental insurance alongside their Medicare should bring that card too, since we accept PPO plans as well. Our insurance and financing page covers all of this in more detail, and our front desk goes over your options with you before you decide anything.
Two Offices Built With Older Patients in Mind
Getting into the building should not be the hardest part of the appointment. The Hudson office has ground-level entry, and the Port Richey office has a level entrance and a walker-friendly layout, so patients who use a cane, walker, or wheelchair can come in without a struggle. Both offices are open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and our team serves patients in English and Spanish. If a family member usually helps you with appointments, they are welcome at every step, from the phone call to the chair.
How to Get Started
Call (727) 869-3886 and say you are a Medicare patient. That one sentence is all it takes, and the team handles the rest: they will help you pick the office that suits you, tell you what to bring, and set up your first visit. If you prefer to start online, our contact page reaches the same front desk. Either way, your benefits get reviewed with you first, and nothing goes on the schedule until you have said yes to a plan you have actually seen.

Questions Medicare Patients Ask Us
Yes. Estrada Dentistry accepts Medicare at both offices, in Hudson at 13736 Little Rd and in Port Richey at 6640 Embassy Blvd. Bring your card to your first visit and our front desk will go over your benefits with you first, so treatment only gets scheduled once you know where you stand.
Plans vary a great deal, and two patients sitting in the same waiting room can carry very different benefits. Rather than guess, bring your card to your first visit and our front desk will look at what your specific plan includes with you, and treatment goes on the calendar only after that. It is a normal part of every first appointment here.
It starts with the exam. Dr. Estrada lays out what your mouth needs and in what order, and not everything has to happen at once. Treatment can often be staged across visits, and CareCredit financing can spread the cost of care into monthly payments. Our front desk goes over the options with you before you commit to anything.
Requirements differ from plan to plan, so we do not assume. Call (727) 869-3886, tell us you are a Medicare patient, and our front desk will walk you through what your plan requires before your first visit. If anything needs to be sorted out ahead of time, we handle it with you on the phone rather than at the counter.
Yes, at both the Hudson and Port Richey offices. With two office schedules to draw on, same week appointments are often available. Call (727) 869-3886 and our team will find the soonest opening that works for you.
