Insurance for dental implants

Insurance for dental implants is a "tricky" topic in more ways than one with many advertisers using this term to get your attention – but the truth is much more complicated.

Although dental implants are now common practice and are used in many cases, insurance companies categorize them as cosmetic dentistry. Most insurance policies don't cover cosmetic dentistry and dental implants specifically.

Dental insurance plans vary in their coverage. Most, if not all of them, offer routine maintenance, basic care and emergencies. After researching the subject and looking around for a plan that would cover a significant portion of the bill – I can confidently tell you that there is no such thing as dental implant insurance.

Some dental insurance policies will offer partial coverage which will lower your total expenses by just a bit, other policies will tell you they DO cover dental implants but when you read the small print you'll realize they have a maximum allowed annual coverage. In some cases your dental plan may offer coverage in the amount of an alternative treatment such as partials or dentures.

No getting away from it – dental implants are expensive! And insurance companies will not cover such costly expenses (unless they're out there to lose money – I don't think so….). So after realizing that dental implant insurance is pretty much a gimmick – a 'come-on', I would recommend that you focus on finding affordable dental implants.
