Dental implant insurance that's right for you
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, but they can be expensive without insurance. Around 74 million people in the U.S. don't have dental insurance, but that doesn't have to include you.
While other insurers might not include any coverage for implants or impose long waiting periods that can delay your procedure, Spirit Dental does things differently. Our plans offer immediate implant coverage, no waiting periods and high annual maximums, so you can get the care you need without delay.

Why get dental insurance for implants?
Over 5 million dental implants are performed each year in the U.S. They're an ideal solution when you have a severely cracked or missing tooth. But implants can be expensive, and it's essential to find a policy that provides comprehensive coverage, including dental implant coverage. Not all companies cover implants. Spirit Dental, however, offers budget-friendly dental plans for preventive care, basic services and major services, like dental implants.
Note: There is a missing tooth clause to be aware of with dental insurance plans. It states that an implant is eligible for coverage if the natural tooth is removed while covered under this insurance policy and is not missing before getting the policy in place.
Not all dental implants are the same—know your options
You'll likely have lots of questions when deciding if implants are the right choice for you. Like, what type of implant is best, how the procedure works and what to expect during recovery.
The truth is, there are several types of implants available, and choosing the right one depends on your specific dental needs, bone structure and long-term goals.
