No two smiles are alike, and neither are insurance plans. Some insurance policies list dental implants as cosmetic procedures, which can limit your coverage options. There are, however, cases when dental insurance picks up a portion of your procedure, like the post and abutment placement, which can cover 45% of the total cost. So, in short: it primarily depends on your plan.

Available implant coverage also varies based on the need for treatment as well. The following are instances are common causes for patients to get implants and if they’re likely to be covered under insurance or not:

Likely to be covered:

  • Current natural teeth are causing medical issues

  • You’ve experienced trauma to your teeth

  • An accident leading to missing teeth

Less likely to be covered:

  • Tooth decay

  • Cosmetic reasons

The average price of an implant-supported arch at Aspen Dental is between $6,800.² Your personalized care plan, however, can determine the exact cost of your procedure. Factors include:

Planning for dental care and dental implants begins with the dental insurance plans and employee benefits available to you. To ensure you have the coverage you need for your new smile, consider these factors when selecting your employee benefits or dental insurance policy:

  • If your employer has a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), enroll in it and select contributions that reflect your medical budget and needs

  • If your employer has insurance plans that offer strong coverage and a low annual deductible, and you know you may need more in-depth dental care or dental implants, consider electing into this coverage. In doing so, when you meet your out-of-pocket expenses with your deductible, your insurance will cover your care needs more fully

  • Time your care plan so that your deductible is met and your insurance program kicks in when you are ready to move forward with dental implants

If you don’t have insurance coverage yet, explore your options with the Aspen Dental Savings Plan. With our in-office plan, we make care affordable for your budget with:

  • An affordable fee of $39 per year

  • 20% off dental implant treatments

  • Up to 30% of most dental services

  • Free exams and x-rays

  • Works with our third-party financing so your care is covered

How quickly your dental insurance can cover your dental implants is dependent on whether or not you’ve met your annual maximum. If you haven’t met with an Aspen Dental team yet, you can check to what portion of your dental implants your policy will cover and confirm that you haven’t met your annual maximum. Your annual maximum 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.
