Can dental implants be reimbursed by medical insurance?

Dental implants cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance.

The cost of dental implant surgery cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance, which only reimburses the cost of tooth filling and tooth extraction. Dental implants are not covered by medical insurance. Dental implants belong to the category of cosmetic surgery, and like orthodontics, they cannot be covered by medical insurance, which is a self-funded project.

Benefits of dental implants:

1, high stability: dental implant is to implant artificial tooth root into oral bone tissue, and form a firm combination with surrounding tissues, so it has very high stability. Compared with traditional dentures, dental implants can be more firmly fixed in the oral cavity and are not easy to loosen or fall off, which makes patients more confident and comfortable.

2. It can simulate natural teeth: the appearance and function of dental implants are very similar to those of natural teeth, which can well simulate the shape and function of natural teeth and make patients more convenient and comfortable in daily life.

3, promote oral health: the loss of teeth will lead to the displacement of surrounding teeth, unequal occlusion, and even cause oral diseases such as gingivitis and dental caries. Dental implants can fill the missing part of teeth, maintain the stability and occlusal balance of teeth, and help promote oral health.

To sum up, not all patients with oral problems are suitable for dental implants, and the specific situation needs to be examined in a regular hospital before deciding the treatment plan.
