Can dental implants be reimbursed by medical insurance?

The cost of dental implant surgery cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance. Medical insurance only reimburses the cost of filling and extraction of teeth. Dental implants are not covered by medical insurance. They belong to the scope of cosmetic plastic surgery, which is the same as orthodontic treatment of teeth. Therefore, they cannot be used for medical insurance and are self-paid items.
