According to a 2008 survey by the National Association of Dental Plans, there are 8 or 9 carriers the include coverage for dental implants in their group dental insurance products. Sometimes it is part of base coverage and sometimes an additional benefit that your employer must request. So check your policy and if it is not covered, ask you employer if it can be added. Implants are not generally a part of individual dental insurance coverage. But, discounts on implants may be a part of discount dental plans that you can buy on an individual basis. To find an individual discount dental plan, go to the NADP website--www.nadp.org--and use the Dental Plan Directory to look up the names of companies that provide "discount dental plans" in your state.
