Patients often ask whether dental implants are covered by insurance. The answer is that it depends.
Many companies that provide dental insurance maintain that dental implants are a cosmetic dental procedure and not “necessary” and, therefore, not covered. However, there are a few insurance providers that do cover implants to some extent. It just depends on your insurance carrier.
Another question we get asked frequently is whether a patient planning on having implants placed can switch from an insurance provider that does not cover implants to one that does.
