Answers to Your Most Asked Questions About Dental Implant Cost
Why are dental implants so expensive?

Are dental implants worth it?
Dental implants can be worth the cost for some people, as they can provide a permanent solution to missing or damaged teeth and improve oral health. However, they may not be the best option for everyone, and it’s important to consider all factors, including the cost of dental implants before deciding to move forward with treatment.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Insurance coverage for dental implants varies and depends on your specific insurance plan. Some plans may cover the cost of the implant, while others may only cover a portion of the cost. It’s important to check with your insurance provider to determine what’s covered.
Can I get dental implants free or subsidized?
Dental implants may be available at a reduced cost or for free through certain government or non-profit programs, particularly for low-income individuals or veterans. It’s worth checking with local public health clinics or government programs for more information.
What is the average cost of a single dental implant?

Does medicare cover dental implants?
Medicare does not typically cover dental implant procedures. Medicare Advantage plans may offer some coverage for dental services, but it’s best to check with your provider to confirm what’s covered.
Are there financing options available for the cost of dental implants?
Yes, many dental practices offer financing options through third-party companies to help patients pay for dental implants. These options can include payment plans with low or no interest plans or lines of credit. Common financing companies for dental implants include CareCredit and LendingClub. Always read the terms and conditions carefully before applying for financing.
Are there any alternatives to dental implants that are more affordable?
While dental implants can be expensive, there are other options available for replacing missing or damaged teeth. Some alternatives include dentures, dental bridges, and dental crowns. These options can be less expensive than dental implants, but they may not be as durable or long-lasting.
Additionally, it’s important to consider the overall oral health and the condition of the remaining teeth before determining the best option. Consult with a dentist to determine the best solution for you.

The dentists are absolutely excellent…
“I have been going here for years. The dentists are absolutely excellent and they always have an appointment available that fits into a busy schedule. I also completed invisilgn and my teeth are perfectly straight now. They also practice preventive medicine and just went in for my 6 month cleaning. Every time feel like I have a new set of choppers and best yet the check up noted no cavities!.”
