Will Medicaid pay for my implants? I already have dentures. I would like them to be implants

Question

Ramin Mahallati, DDS · Answer

Medicaid covers extractions of the teeth, the majority of fillings and removable prosthesis. Implants and are considered an elective type of treatment and Medicaid will not cover that. The best way to answer this would be with an in-person consultation where they can go over your options. There are several steps in creating dental implants. The Provisional (Temporary Crowns) are critical in finalizing the esthetics and look of the final restorations (Permanent Crowns).  During the Provisional phase the shape, contour arrangement, position and color of the teeth can be tried and assessed to make sure you like the results. Then the temporary crowns can be used as a template for making the permanent crowns this will ensure the subsequent crown matches the color and shape of the surrounding teeth so and once it is placed will fit in naturally with the rest of your teeth. I recommend getting a consultation with a prosthodontist to determine if you’re a candidate. A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has advanced training in restoring and replacing teeth and can create a customized treatment using the latest techniques in dental implants.
