Exploring dental insurance that covers implants
No two smiles are alike, and neither are many insurance plans. That’s why it’s important to talk to your provider to see if your dental insurance covers implants once you decide they’re right for you.
What influences dental implants cost?
The average range of an implant-supported arch at Aspen Dental is between $6,500 - $8,000.¹ But your personalized care plan can determine the exact cost of your procedure. Factors include: How many dental implants you need, the type of dental implants, the type of prosthetic teeth used, how many teeth need replacing, and if you need extractions prior to your implants¹Price estimate includes fees for implant placement, prosthetic and attachments only. Additional services may be required.
Can dental insurance cover implants immediately?
Check your policy to see if your dental insurance covers implants. If it does cover a portion, be sure you haven’t met your annual maximum, which is the amount your insurance plan will pay for dental care in a year. Additionally, any pre-existing conditions, like missing teeth prior to coverage, may impact your insurance usability.Find your dental insurance provider

When dental insurance covers implants (and when it may not)

Insurance coverage available for implants varies depending on the need for treatment. Here are some instances, starting from most likely on left to least likely on the right:
