Basics of Dental Insurance Coverage

What is It?

Insurance providers frequently view dental implants as cosmetic and not medically required. Likewise, most insurance policies do not cover aesthetic procedures because they are not considered medically necessary. Yet, anyone who has ever had a tooth fall out or had one chipped or lost understands how damaging it can be to one’s dental health.

Depending on why you need a dental implant, you may need to use both your medical and dental insurance to pay for the treatment. Check your insurance coverage carefully to know if dental implants are mentioned in the policy you received when you took the policy.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Implants?

It depends. Most dental insurance policies offer sufficient coverage for fundamental preventative care and some for restoration procedures. However, people frequently only pay for the least-priced service to deal with a certain oral health problem. Dental insurance, for example, is likely to pay up to 50% of the price of dentures or bridges, but it’s unlikely they’ll do the same for dental implants. The latter, after all, entails oral surgery and is sometimes considered a cosmetic dental treatment.

Even if your plan doesn’t pay for the implants or the surgery to place them, it may still cover some parts of the dental implant process. For instance, it’s typical for insurance to only partially pay for the crown, bridge, or denture placed over your implants.
