Previously eliminated in 2009 due to the state budget crisis, some adult dental benefits were restored in May 2014. In addition to the restored benefits of May 2014, effective Jan. 1, 2018, the adult benefit package will include the following procedures: - root canals
- laboratory processed crowns
- periodontics (scaling and root planing)
- implants
- partial dentures
Don't mean to hijack this thread, but is this for real - California Medicaid covers dental implants? You have got to be kidding me..... |
It's for real but there is an $1800 annual benefit limit unless services are deemed medically necessary, so I guess if you need an implant you come up with the rest of the money or spread the procedure out over two or three years. I'm not sure what other dentists charge but when I talked to mine about an implant he said it would be 5-6K
