An increasing number of dental insurance plans are adding coverage for implants. Press releases from some of the companies announcing the coverage are available on the website of the National Association of Dental Plans at www.nadp.org in the News Section under Member News Releases. That site also has a directory of dental plans that can be searched by state.
Applicable definitions that might help to determine coverage in a particular circumstance include these:
Implant: A support for a bridge or denture that has been surgically placed into bone
Bridges: No removable tooth replacements attached to adjoining natural teeth when one or a few teeth are missing. Dentures: Removable artificial teeth in a plastic base that rests directly on the gums. A denture may be complete or partial depending on the number of missing natural teeth.
