About Ameritas: More Than 135 Years of Service
Ameritas has a long and impressive history dating back to 1887 when it was founded in Lincoln, Nebraska as The Old Line Bankers Life Insurance Company of Nebraska. What began as a regional insurance company has grown into a nationwide organization serving millions of customers across the United States. Today, Ameritas remains headquartered in Lincoln and continues to operate as a mutual-based organization, meaning the company focuses on long-term customer value rather than answering to public shareholders.
Over the years, Ameritas expanded beyond life insurance and financial products into employee benefits, retirement planning, dental insurance, vision insurance, hearing care benefits, and other health-related products. The company has grown through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, including the acquisition of Dental Select in 2020, which further strengthened its position in the dental and vision marketplace.
Today, Ameritas serves millions of customers nationwide and is recognized as one of the country’s largest dental and vision insurance carriers. Its continued growth and commitment to customer service have helped make Ameritas a trusted name among individuals, families, retirees, and employers seeking quality dental and vision coverage.
Ameritas Dental & Vision Coverage in Las Vegas and Clark County
While Ameritas is a national carrier, its products are available throughout Nevada, including Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, and the rest of Clark County. Local residents have access to Ameritas dental and vision plans through independent agencies like Las Vegas Medicare, giving consumers a local resource to help evaluate coverage options and provider access.
One of the reasons Ameritas has become popular among Medicare beneficiaries, retirees, self-employed individuals, and families is its focus on flexibility and provider choice. Ameritas maintains one of the largest dental networks in the nation, helping members access dentists across the country while often receiving negotiated network discounts that can reduce out-of-pocket costs.
On the vision side, Ameritas offers access to two of the largest vision networks in the United States—VSP and EyeMed—depending on the plan selected. This gives members access to thousands of eye care professionals, retail vision centers, and online vision retailers. Many plans include benefits for annual eye exams, prescription eyeglasses, and contact lenses.
For Las Vegas-area residents, Ameritas can be an attractive option because it offers standalone dental and vision coverage that can complement Original Medicare, Medicare Supplement plans, employer coverage, or individual health insurance plans. This makes Ameritas particularly appealing for retirees who discover that Medicare does not typically cover routine dental services, eye exams, eyeglasses, or contact lenses.

Why This Matters for Las Vegas Medicare Clients

Why Dental Insurance Matters in Las Vegas and Henderson
Dental care is one of the most important — and often overlooked — parts of overall health. Routine cleanings, exams, x-rays, fillings, crowns, dentures, implants, and periodontal care can become expensive without insurance coverage.
For many Las Vegas and Henderson residents, dental insurance helps make preventive care more affordable while also helping reduce out-of-pocket costs for larger procedures.
Good oral health has also been linked to overall health and wellness. Studies continue to show connections between dental health and conditions such as:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Stroke
- Gum disease
- Infections
- Nutrition challenges
- Cognitive decline in older adults
Unfortunately, Original Medicare generally does not cover most routine dental services. This leaves many Medicare beneficiaries searching for standalone dental insurance plans or Medicare Advantage plans that include dental benefits.
That is where Las Vegas Medicare can help.

Many Medicare beneficiaries are surprised to learn that Original Medicare typically does not cover routine dental services such as:
- Dental cleanings
- Exams
- Fillings
- Dentures
- Crowns
- Root canals
- Implants
Because of this, dental insurance has become increasingly important for seniors throughout Clark County.
Las Vegas Medicare helps Medicare beneficiaries understand two common ways to obtain dental coverage:
1. Standalone Dental Insurance Plans
Standalone dental insurance policies can help provide coverage independent of Medicare.
These plans may appeal to people who:
- Have Original Medicare and a Medicare Supplement
- Want more flexibility with dental provider choices
- Need broader dental coverage
- Prefer separate dental insurance
2. Medicare Advantage Plans With Dental Benefits
Some Medicare Advantage plans include dental coverage as part of the overall health plan.
These benefits can vary significantly depending on the carrier and plan selected.
Las Vegas Medicare helps clients compare:
- Provider networks
- Preventive dental benefits
- Comprehensive dental benefits
- Coverage limitations
- Annual benefit amounts
- Specialist access
Because benefits can change yearly, it is important to review coverage annually during Medicare enrollment periods.
Why Local Guidance Matters
Choosing dental insurance online without guidance can sometimes lead to confusion about:

- Waiting periods
- Network restrictions
- Covered procedures
- Out-of-pocket responsibilities
Working with a local Las Vegas insurance agency provides several advantages.
Las Vegas Medicare understands the Southern Nevada healthcare market and can help clients navigate local dental insurance considerations.

Dental Costs Continue to Rise
Dental procedures can become costly without insurance coverage.
Even routine preventive care may add up over time, while major procedures such as crowns, bridges, dentures, oral surgery, and implants can create significant financial strain.
Many Las Vegas residents choose dental insurance to help:
- Budget for dental care
- Encourage preventive visits
- Reduce surprise expenses
- Improve access to care
- Maintain long-term oral health
Preventive care is especially important because catching issues early may help reduce the need for more expensive procedures later.
Who Should Consider Ameritas Dental Insurance?
Dental insurance may be worth considering for:
Medicare Beneficiaries
Seniors with Original Medicare often seek standalone dental insurance because Medicare generally does not cover routine dental services.
Retirees
People who recently retired may lose employer-sponsored dental coverage and need a replacement option.
Self-Employed Individuals
Independent contractors, freelancers, consultants, and small business owners often purchase dental insurance independently.
Families
Parents may want coverage for preventive services, orthodontics, and ongoing dental care for children.
Individuals Without Employer Coverage
Many people simply want affordable access to preventive dental care and protection against larger dental expenses.
Why Many Nevada Residents Prefer Independent Insurance Agencies
One advantage of working with an independent insurance agency like Las Vegas Medicare is flexibility.
Unlike captive agents who represent only one insurance carrier, independent agencies can often help clients compare multiple options.
This allows for a more educational and personalized experience.
At Las Vegas Medicare, we focus on:
- Education

The Importance of Preventive Dental Care

- Routine cleanings
- Exams
- X-rays
- Oral evaluations
- Fluoride treatments
Maintaining regular preventive care may help reduce the risk of:
- Gum disease
- Tooth loss
- Infection
- Advanced dental problems
For older adults, maintaining oral health can also contribute to better nutrition and quality of life.
Las Vegas and Henderson Continue to Grow

As Southern Nevada grows, access to healthcare and dental coverage becomes increasingly important.
Many new residents moving to Las Vegas or Henderson may be:
