implants for dentures/insurance coverage?

I am looking for dental insurance that covers mini dental implants for dentures?
--------------------
Well, as far as I know... Dental insurances do not currently cover dental implants. Because it is the latest, greatest and more expensive procedure, dental insurance companies don't like to put the money out for that. They would rather pay out for a partial denture or bridge. They do cover the prosthetic (crowns, bridges, dentures, etc.) needed after the placement of the implant(s) at their percentage. Average insurance companies cover prosthetic at 50%-75%. 100% if you're lucky. Do remember that some insurance companies have a "12 month waiting period," meaning you must have coverage by that dental insurance company for 12 consecutive months BEFORE they cover the costs of major work, like dentures. I would suggest to go online, search for dental insurances and speak to a customer representative. They would are MORE than happy to speak to a potential customer. Just ask about "dental implant coverage." I hope this information is helpful! =) Let me know if you need anymore info! Good luck!
