What insurance covers dental implants?

I worked for a doctor who specialized in the dental implants. I was in charge of filing the insurance papers and getting the payment for the patients. Unfortunately, most plans did not cover the implants at all. Only the best, most expensive plans covered a part of the implant.





I can tell you that implants are the best way to go to replace a missing tooth, so if you can do it at all, go for it! You wont regret it. Just make sure you find someone who is highly regarded in this procedure. A lot of general dentists are trying to do them and they arent working out as well.

What insurance covers dental implants?
Any dental insurance should cover a portion of replacement teeth. Implants may not be covered as much as dentures, however, because they are much more expensive. My insurance will only cover 50% for implants.
Reply:Most all health insurances wil cover some cost of it. On average a dental implant is around $2,000. You can expect most insurances to cover only between 10-15% sadly enough...Try and work out a payment plan if the procedure has to be done. Most dentists will work with you...kelly
