Factors to Consider

  • If your dental insurance plan does offer coverage for dental implants, there are several factors to consider:
  • Waiting Period: Some dental insurance plans require a waiting period before coverage for dental implants becomes available. This waiting period can vary from a few months to a year.
  • Coverage Percentage: The percentage of the cost of dental implants that is covered by your insurance can also vary. Some plans may cover a higher percentage, while others may cover a lower percentage or a fixed amount per tooth.
  • Annual Maximum: Dental insurance plans often have an annual maximum benefit limit, which is the maximum amount they will pay for dental treatment within a given year. If the cost of dental implants exceeds this limit, you will be responsible for the remaining amount.
  • Prior Authorization: Some dental insurance plans may require prior authorization before proceeding with the dental implant procedure. It's important to check with your insurance provider to understand their requirements.
