Seeking proper insurance for your oral surgery needs can be confusing. However, figuring out what is covered, what isn’t, and seeking alternatives is something that can be achieved through proper communication with different health care providers and our oral surgeon. At Lorton-Springfield Dental Implant & Oral Surgery, we hope to provide all of your surgical care and offer information for coverage and alternative sources of financing.
In The Case of Dental Implants
Dental implants are a restorative procedure that allows for one or more teeth to be replaced. However, this effective and long lasting treatment is more expensive than other prosthetics and may not be covered by most traditional dental insurances. If you are interested in dental implants, inquire with our office about a payment plan for the best treatment available to replace teeth, regardless of your insurance coverage.
Although dental implants are more expensive initially, over time they are much more cost-effective than dentures. Over the course of use, removable prosthetics can wear down existing teeth and tissue. Dental implants replace teeth entirely, and when properly placed can integrate into the supportive structures to ensure long lasting restoration.
Dental Insurance: What Is Covered and What Isn’t?
While most basic preventive and diagnostic care is covered by dental insurance, restorative treatments are often not included as covered services. Depending on your insurance plan’s benefits, fillings, root canals, crowns, and bridges may require a copayment. In some instances, paying for restorative dentistry falls squarely on the patient. There isn’t an all-in-one insurance plan that can cover everything, including implants, but talking to your healthcare provider for options is recommended.
At Lorton-Springfield Dental Implant & Oral Surgery, we accept most major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, and Discover), and PayPal. However, before you begin implant treatment, ask our front office team about a pre-treatment estimate. This service allows you to know upfront what your dental plan will cost and what you will be responsible for.
