Can My Insurance Cover Dental Implants?
From Dr. Eastwood at Summerbrook Dental & Implants – Fort Worth, TX
Many patients ask, “Can my insurance cover dental implants?” The answer depends on your specific insurance plan. At Summerbrook Dental & Implants, Dr. Eastwood and our team help patients understand their benefits so they can plan treatment with confidence.
Some dental insurance plans cover part of the cost of implants, while others do not. Traditionally, many plans considered implants a “cosmetic” treatment, but that is changing. More companies now recognize implants as an important way to restore function and health, so partial coverage is becoming more common.
Coverage may include certain parts of the treatment rather than the entire process. For example, your plan might pay for the tooth extraction or the crown that attaches to the implant, but not for the actual implant post or surgery. Some medical insurance plans may also help cover implant costs if tooth loss is due to injury or a medical condition.
It’s important to remember that even if insurance does not pay the full amount, implants can still be affordable with payment plans and financing. At Summerbrook Dental, we work with third-party financing companies so patients can spread payments over time.
Before treatment, our team can contact your insurance provider to check exactly what is covered and give you a detailed estimate. This helps you avoid surprises and make an informed decision.
Dental implants are an investment in your long-term health. They can last for decades, protect your jawbone, and improve your ability to eat and speak.
We know some patients feel stressed about costs. That’s why our office is a no-judgment zone—we’ll walk you through your options and help you find a solution that works for your budget.
