admin Hello, I have a dental insurance plan that will not cover the 4 dental implants I need (all molars). The last couple of plans I have had told me the same thing, and my dentist tells me no dental insurance plan will help with these, as they are considered cosmetic. I am sick of it and need to get started on these implants ASAP. My dentist recommended looking into a dental discount plan, which would cost a couple hundred a year, but would save $500-$1000 per implant. If this is true, I am very interested in applying for a plan in my area.
Before I do so, I would like to know if anyone else has any experience in this area. Any particular plan I should look into? Any other info I should know about?
Thanks in advance!
My insurance company wants me to have bridges, which is out of the question as I am only 22 years old. I am NOT destroying more teeth to have bridges put in that will only last 7-10 years, where implants are life-long if I take good care of them. I agree, it is most certainly not cosmetic. Alas, it is not up to me.

Can’t answer your insurance questions, but how can implants to replace molars, which you cannot see, be considered cosmetic? It is a functional thing to need restoring. Good luck.
I went to Dental Maya in Cancun they charged me only $1600 (post, abutment and Crown) I had 6 and saved a LOT OF MONEY!
