Does Dental Insurance Cover the Cost of Dental Implants?

Casey Ledford17 February 2023

Once you and your dentist have come to the decision that dental implants are the next step for you, your next question will be “will insurance cover the cost of this?”. In short, most dental insurance policies typically do not cover dental implant procedures. Some insurance could cover a portion of the dental implant total procedure including extraction, bone grafting, crown, and possibly the implant root.

Your health care insurance plan may also include dental treatments, but these may vary depending on your policy. If one is inquiring about new insurance plans, look out for the details within the policy toward any and all dental implant treatment. Some health care accounts provided to employees of certain businesses may allow for the direction of funds towards dental implant procedures.

A Cosmetic Dentistry Grant (CDG) is available for those looking to receive a dental implant procedure. The CDG could cover the partial cost of the dental implants. Learn more about the CDG and if you’re eligible to get CDG Funding for dental implants.
