Rooted in the jawbone, dental implants\nlook, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. In fact, they\u2019re the\nonly replacement that can restore the teeth from the roots up. However, with\nthese benefits, there tends to be a higher price tag. Does your dental\ninsurance cover dental implants? What factors determine the cost of your\ntreatment? Read on to find out from your dentist in Highland Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

First, Understanding the Implant Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other solutions, dental\nimplants<\/a> have a process with various stages that each incur a separate\ncost, adding up to the total price of your treatment. Initially, you will visit\nyour dentist for a consultation, where they will examine your missing teeth and\nthe condition of your oral health. It\u2019s important to understand that any\npreexisting dental issues you may have must be treated before receiving dental\nimplants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, you\u2019ll have your surgery, where your dentist will make\nslight incisions in the gums to access the bone before creating small holes for\nthe placement of your dental implants. Once placed, you\u2019ll begin a 3 to 4-month\nhealing process. After the implants have fused to the jawbone, your dentist\nwill attach abutments (small connectors) before mounting your restoration. The\nresult is a beautiful, lifelike, and complete set of teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does Insurance Cover Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The reason why it\u2019s vital to understand the implant process\nis because most insurance plans do not cover the dental implants themselves.\nHowever, they may cover certain aspects of the treatment process. For example,\nif you need periodontal therapy before getting implants, your insurance will\nusually cover the treatment to minimize your out of pocket costs. Additionally,\ndepending on your plan, it may cover your consultation and partially cover the\nimplant restorations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only way to know about your coverage with certainty is\nto contact your dentist. They will be happy to work with your insurance to see\nhow your benefits can be maximized. Typically, your dentist will develop your\npersonalized treatment plan after your consultation, which will include the\ncost, your treatment time, and which parts of the procedure will be covered by\nyour dental insurance. From there, you can start your journey toward a healthy\nand full smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re ready to replace your missing teeth with the best solution\navailable, don\u2019t hesitate to contact your dentist today! They will ensure that\nyou can feel confident in your investment while taking advantage of your\ninsurance coverage in any way possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
