Is the dental implant part and the cost of the crowns separate?
I need 2 dental implants. I had 2 extractions with bone graft 2 days ago. ( 19 and 20 molar, lower left )
The stitched everything up and now I'm waiting for 3 months, and then I'm scheduled to come in for my implants.
The implants for 2 teeth, along with bone graft and everything else ( except the crowns ) will cost me about 5700 dollars. I have already paid 1250 of that. I will pay the rest once the implants are in place.
And once the implants are in, I have to wait another couple of months for the crowns I believe.
Now, my question is. My insurance doesn't cover implants.
But will they cover the crowns? The reason I ask is, my insurance normally cover crowns at 50 %, but since these are attached to implants, I am not sure..
Does my question make any sense?
So far, they covered 60% of the bone graft and 80 % of the extraction of the 2 molars.
Just asking from other peoples experience and it's Sunday night and I'm at work and bored.
I will call and verify for myself later.

My insurance covered zero for implants. I would think the crowns are not covered. I had two implants with an attached tooth (bridge) and total cost was $7200. This did not include any extractions or grafting (did not need). But I supposed different plans can vary.

Yeah...I have to call and find out. Im going to call right now.
Ok..lol
so I just called them.
The crown added on top on implant will be covered at 50 %. So that will save me a little.

Dang I need to raise my fees.
An "implant" is not a tooth. An implant is a artificial root. The crown is separate.
It can be confusing. An artificial root. That makes sense.
What do you mean by you have to raise your fees??
Yes, I would like to know that as well. Maybe he did not understand my post - I got an implant BRIDGE - this was two implants, two crowns with a fake "tooth" in the middle - is that better, toofache??? Anyway, the cost was lower with this guy than just about anywhere.
