Dental Implants and Insurance: What to Know Before You Plan Treatment
dentalimplants
Wondering how insurance or CDCP may apply to dental implants? Here is how to approach costs and coverage questions with your South Surrey dentist.
Dental implants are an important investment, and coverage is one of the first things people ask about. Here is what to consider before planning treatment with our dentist in South Surrey.
Coverage varies widely
Some private plans cover part of implant-related care, some cover other tooth replacement options, and some cover none. Rules differ by plan, so your benefits booklet is the best starting point. CDCP has its own list of covered services, so confirm what applies to you.
Why a pre-treatment estimate helps
Implant treatment often involves several steps over time. We can request an estimate from your insurer so you see what may be covered before you commit. Estimates can change with plan rules.
Ask about your options
Implants are one way to replace a missing tooth. Bridges and dentures are others. Your dentist can explain how each compares for your mouth, your health and your budget, without pressure.
Questions to ask your plan
- Are implants covered, and at what percentage?
- Is there a waiting period?
- What is my annual maximum?
- Does my plan cover bone grafting or only the crown?
