Dental Implant Cost for an Abscessed Tooth?

In the past year & a half, I had a long term filling fall out in my right back tooth (indicated as 30). At first, I had no pain. But lately, I've had an immense pain in the tooth & finally got the chance to see a dentist. The tooth has basically became abscessed * partly gone. I was recommended an oral surgeon for a candidate for a dental placement for the tooth. I go to school in MS, but in FL for summer so I haven't scheduled an appt. What is the average cost for this & does insurance cover?

Dental Implant Cost

Every insurance plan is different, you need to find out what your benefits are. Costs vary from state to state and doctor tot doctor.
