Are there any health insurance companies that cover dental implants since dental insurance considers it a cosmetic procedure?
To find companies in your state that provide dental insurance or dental discount plans, go to the National Association of Dental Plans site (www.nadp.org) which has a directory of companies that offer dental insurance. The directory can be searched by state and you can select "individual" and get the list of just those companies that provide individual dental insurance in your state. The listing also tells you if the company provides dental HMO, dental PPO, dental indemnity (traditional insurance without a network) or a discount plan (not insurance but a discount off the dentist's fees who are part of the discount network).* Unlike most dental procedures, you can expect to pay 100% of the cost of a cosmetic procedure out of your own pocket. Your dental insurance company will typically not pay for purely cosmetic procedures. Usually, insurance only covers the costs of procedures required for a functional purpose. In cases where there is both a functional and cosmetic need for a procedure, e.g. crowns that protect and improve the appearance of your teeth, and insurance companies typically only covers the amount required to protect the tooth. * Your best bet it to shop around for the best prices for implants. * Actually, more dental plans are adding coverage for implants as an alternate to a bridge or for a single tooth space. A 2008 report by the National Association of Dental Plans found that most Dental PPO and Dental Indemnity Plans of the reporting companies either include implants in standard coverage or offer it as an added benefit. Health insurance companies generally do not provide coverage of dental procedures except for oral surgery that results from an accident or injury.

Does the typical dental insurance policy cover cosmetic work?
The typical dental insurance policy does not cover cosmetic work for the same reason the typical health insurance policy does not cover cosmetic work for the body - it is not considered a need. Even if such work was covered, there would be a waiting period before cosmetic procedures could be done. A person's best bet for finding affordable pricing for cosmetic dental work is through a dental discount plan. Discount plans are not insurance. The plans simply offer discounts at participating dentists for set procedures, including cosmetic. There are no waiting periods with discount plans, and no pre existing conditions to be concerned with.
