Fortunately, the days of using animal bones and seashells are long gone. Instead, patients today can opt for a high-quality, durable, and lifelike solution: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonesandassociatesdds.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>. But is this state-of-the-art tooth-replacement option covered by dental insurance? To learn the answer, read on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the answer depends entirely on your dental plan, it\u2019s possible! Although dental implants aren\u2019t usually considered \u201cmedically necessary,\u201d aspects of the treatment may be covered by your provider. For example, 50% of the cost of the crown or bridge attached to the dental implant could be covered. In addition, any preliminary treatments, like gum disease therapy, could be eligible. It\u2019s important to also note that the reason you\u2019re considering dental implants plays an important role, like if you lost your teeth after a car accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 Priceless Benefits of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While cost is certainly an important factor when determining if dental implants are right for you, it\u2019s crucial to consider the priceless benefits of this tooth-replacement option as well. After all, while the upfront cost is likely higher than other options, it still may end up being the most cost-effective in the long run. That\u2019s because dental implants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Can last for 20+ years with proper care, no replacements or adjustments necessary.<\/li><li>Stimulate your jawbone, which preserves your youthful face shape.<\/li><li>Are completely customized to you.<\/li><li>Are lifelike in look and feel.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t come with any dietary restrictions, allowing you to enjoy all of your favorite foods.<\/li><li>Come with hassle-free maintenance \u2013 just brush, floss, and visit your dentist as usual. &nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remember, Your Dental Plan May Reset at the End of the Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in dental implants, then there is no time like the present to act, especially since many plans reset on January 1<sup>st<\/sup>. So, the best time to find out if your provider covers dental implants fully or in part is now! The best place to start is by getting in touch with your carrier. Otherwise, you can contact your dental team directly. Just give them all of your current dental insurance paperwork during your consultation. From there, their knowledgeable team can file a claim, get an understanding of your benefits, and explain the cost in a straightforward way. As a result, you\u2019ll be able to make an informed decision on whether or not dental implants are the right tooth-replacement option for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonesandassociatesdds.com\/\">Jones and Knight DDS<\/a>, our exceptional team is proud to offer a wide range of smile-enhancing services, including dental implants.
