Dental implants are one of the most advanced and long-lasting solutions for replacing missing teeth. But when considering implant treatment, many patients ask the same question: Does dental insurance cover it?

The answer is—it depends.

Most standard dental insurance plans classify implants as a major procedure, and coverage can vary widely. Some policies offer partial reimbursement for certain stages of treatment, while others may exclude implants altogether, considering them cosmetic. However, as implants become the standard of care in modern dentistry, more insurers are beginning to include partial coverage for the procedure.

A typical dental implant process may involve:

• Extractions (if needed)
• Bone grafting (in some cases)
• Surgical placement of the implant
• Custom abutment and crown restoration

Depending on your plan, portions of this process—such as diagnostics, extractions, or the final crown—might be covered, even if the implant itself isn’t. Additionally, some medical insurance plans may contribute if tooth loss was caused by trauma or a medical condition.
