Dental implants are very popular and for a good reason. They not only improve the appearance of your teeth, but they also enhance the functioning of them. Since their results are long-term, people prefer them over alternatives such as dentures.
People turn to dentists for dental implants when they have a missing tooth. The dentist will place an implant tooth in its place, making it look natural and beautiful.
Cost Considerations for Dental Implants
One of the most common questions dental patients have in Simi Valley is how much dental implants cost. Depending on the work that needs to be performed to place the implant and the material used for it, the price ranges from $1,000 to $3,000 each. When you add the cost of the abatement and crown, the total cost can range from $1500 to $6000.
Since many patients have more than one lost tooth, the cost of multiple dental implants can reach $30,000 or more. A full mouth treatment could cost as much as $50,000.
In addition to the implants, abutment, and crown, some dental patients need x-rays, extractions, bone grafts, or other additional treatments. The cost of these adds to the expense of the procedure.
Will Dental Insurance Pay for Dental Implants?
Insurance policies often determine the amount of coverage for dental implant treatment. Not all dental insurances provide coverage for implants. Also, since the maximum allowance on dental benefits is usually $1,000 to $1,500 per year, there are many limitations. Most dental patients may receive enough coverage for one or two dental implants.
Medical Insurance and Medicare Coverage
Medical insurance companies are starting to cover some dental procedures like bone grafting. However, they are not covering dental implant treatments yet.
Medicare also will not cover the cost of dental implants, either. For certain patients, however, Medicare can cover the cost of an infected tooth extraction and bone grafting, which significantly helps to lower the cost of implant treatment.
